(2E)-2-(Thio­phen-2-yl­methyl­idene)-1,2,3,4-tetra­hydro­naphthalen-1-one

In the title compound, C(15)H(12)OS, the cyclo­hexene ring has a twisted boat conformation with the C atom between the ketone and methyl­ene atom and this methyl­ene C atom lying 0.280 (3) and 0.760 (3) Å, respectively, from the plane through the remaining four atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 Å). The dihedral angle between the benzene and thio­phene rings [21.64 (9)°] indicates an overall twist in the mol­ecule. The thio­phene S and ketone O atoms are anti, an orientation that allows the close approach of these atoms [3.3116 (17) Å] in the crystal structure and which leads to the formation of helical supra­molecular chains along the c axis.
