In the title compound, C28H28O6, the benzene rings in the resveratrol moiety are connected by a trans C=C double bond, and the hydroxyl group containing a benzene ring and the central benzene ring are linked through a C=(O)-C=C (enone) moiety to form a chalcone unit. An intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate dimers and additional weak C-H⋯O inter-actions link the dimers into chains propagating along the b-axis direction.
Keywords: C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds; chalcone; crystal structure; resveratrol.
