(2E)-1-(3-Bromophenyl)-3-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H15BrO2, the prop-2-en-1-one fragment is substanti­ally twisted [C—C—C—O = 23.0 (11)°]. The dihedral angle between the benzene and naphthalene rings is 44.28 (13)°. The only possible directional inter­actions in the crystal are weak C—H⋯π contacts, which generate (001) sheets.
