(2E)-3-[4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl]-1-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H16N2O3, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 1.56 (7)°. The nitro group is coplanar with the attached benzene ring while the dimethyl­amino group is twisted slightly away from the attached benzene ring. A weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond is present in the mol­ecular structure. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the [011] direction.
