(8-Benzoyl-2,7-dieth-oxy-naphthalen-1-yl)(phen-yl)methanone

Abstract

In the title compound, C28H24O4, the benzoyl groups at the 1- and 8-positions of the naphthalene ring system are aligned almost anti-parallel, and the benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 20.03 (7)°. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings and the naphthalene ring system are 68.42 (5) and 71.69 (5)°. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100].
