(E)-1,3-Di(2-furyl)-2-propen-1-one

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C11H8O3, contains two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, both of them located in general positions. Both molecules are non-planar; the dihedral angles between the furyl rings are 10.43 (6) and 11.59 (7)degrees. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intra- and intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
