(Benzofuran-2-yl)(3-methyl-3-phenyl­cyclobutyl)­methanone

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C<inf>20</inf>H<inf>18</inf>O <inf>2</inf>, consists of a dimeric arrangement of benzofuran molecules around an inversion centre, linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. There are also C-H⋯π ring interactions. All these interactions result in the formation of infinite chains parallel to the [100] axis. The cyclobutane ring is puckered, with a dihedral angle of 29.03 (13)° between the two three-atom planes.
