Abstract

The title compound, C(25)H(22)O(2), was synthesized via the three-component coupling of benzaldehyde, 2-naphthol and 5,5-dimethyl-cyclo-hexane-1,3-dione. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are linked into dimers by pairs of inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The dimers are further connected into a three-dimensional network by π-π aromatic stacking inter-actions involving the naphthalene ring system, with centroid-centroid separations of 3.695 (7) Å.
