3-Hydroxy-1,3-di-p-tolylpropenone

Abstract

The title molecule, C17H16O2, lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two symmetry-related benzene rings is 15.56 (4)degrees. The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular O-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds.
