(8-Benzoyl-2,7-dimeth­oxy­naphthalen-1-yl)(4-phen­oxy­phen­yl)methanone

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, C(32)H(24)O(5), the benzoyl group and the 4-phenoxy substituted benzoyl group at the 1- and 8-positions of the naphthalene ring system are aligned almost anti­parallel. The two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 21.18 (10)°, and are inclined to the naphthalene ring system by 86.53 (9) and 82.95 (8)°, respectively. In the crystal, C—H⋯O inter­actions are observed involving aromatic and meth­oxy H atoms with ketonic carbonyl O atoms, as well as C—H⋯π inter­actions between aromatic H atoms and the π-systems of naphthalene and benzene rings. These interactions form a three-dimensional architecture and afford a waved alignment of the naphthalene ring systems along the c axis.
