Abstract

The V-shaped propeller-like mol-ecule of the title compound, C(29)H(24)O(4), does not exhibit crystallographic twofold symmetry as the two benzene rings are twisted asymmetrically with respect to both the central propyl plane and the benzo-yloxy groups [4.6 (2), 43.6 (2)° and 45.07 (8), 69.50 (8)°]. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules form a dimer through C-H⋯π inter-molecular inter-actions.
