Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-1-(2,4-dimethylfuran-3-yl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one

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 molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers with R 2 2(14) ring motifs. The molecules are connected via C—H...π interactions, forming a three dimensional network. No π–π interactions are observed.
