Abstract

In the title compound, C(21)H(20)O(4), the central hepta-trienone unit is approximately planar, with a maximum atomic deviation of 0.1121 (11) Å; the two benzene rings are twisted with respect to the hepta-trienone mean plane by 2.73 (5) and 29.31 (4)°. The mol-ecule exists in the enol form and the hy-droxy group forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the neighboring carbonyl group. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
