Synthesis and crystal structure of (2 E )-1-[3,5-bis-(benz-yloxy)phen-yl]-3-(4-eth-oxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

In the title compound, C 31 H 28 O 4 , the phenyl rings of the chalcone unit subtend a dihedral angle of 26.43 (10)°. The phenyl rings of the pendant benz-yloxy groups are orientated at 75.57 (13) and 75.70 (10)° with respect to their attached ring. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules. The inter-molecular inter-actions were qu-anti-fied and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, which showed a breakdown into H⋯H (49.8%), H⋯C/C⋯H (33.8%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (13.6%) inter-actions with other types making negligible contributions.
