Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(36)H(30)O(4), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules of similar geometry. In both mol-ecules, the meth-oxy-meth-oxy groups are disordered over two positions with refined site occupancies of 0.613 (3):0.387 (3) and 0.589 (4):0.411 (4). The dihedral angles between the naphthalene planes within the same mol-ecule are 71.72 (7) and 71.73 (8)°. In the crystal, neighbouring mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming double chains parallel to the c axis.
