Abstract

The title compound, C15H14O2, adopts an E configuration about the C=C double bond. The furan ring is inclined to the phenyl ring by 12.03 (9)°. In the crystal, pairs of mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers with R 2 2(14) ring motifs. The mol-ecules are connected via C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a three dimensional network. No π-π inter-actions are observed.

Keywords: 2,4-di­methyl­furan; C—H⋯π inter­actions; Hirshfeld surface analysis; chalcones; crystal structure; hydrogen bond.
