Abstract

In the title compound, C17H16O3, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene rings is 57.1 (1)°. The mean plane of the ketone group is twisted by 10.0 (5)° from that of the di-meth-oxy-phenyl ring. The two di-meth-oxy-phenyl groups are twisted slighly from the mean plane of the phenyl ring, with C-O-C-C torsion angles of 6.4 (2) and -7.9 (2)° [r.m.s. deviations = 0.15 (3) and 0.18 (3) Å for the two methoxy C atoms]. In the crystal, weak centroid-centroid π-π stacking inter-actions, with inter-centroid distances of 3.8939 (11) and 3.9430 (10) Å are observed.
