Crystal structure of 5-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one

The title compound, C27H26O3, crystallized with two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In molecule A, the plane of the central benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 75.78 (14) and 52.75 (16)° with that of the terminal benzene rings, and the dihedral angle between the planes of the terminal benzene rings is 51.49 (17)°. The corresponding values for molecule B are 75.18 (14), 58.11 (16) and 47.91 (16)°, respectively. The cyclohexene ring adopts an envelope conformation in both molecules, with the C atom to which is attached the central benzene ring as the flap. The crystal packing, is stabilized by C—H...π interactions
