(2E)-1-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title compound, C17H15NO5, an intramolecular C—H.O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif.The benzene rings form a dihedral EZEKIEL CEREAL GOLDEN FLAX angle of 6.45 (7)° with each other.

In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H.O hydrogen bonds Doorstop generate R22(8) loops.Adjacent dimers are further connected by C—H.O hydrogen bonds into an infinite chain along the [011] direction.
