(E)-1-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)-3-(4-methyl-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(16)H(13)ClO, adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=C double bond of the propenone unit. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 45.9 (2)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are arranged into sheets parallel to the ac plane and the sheets are stacked along the b axis. This arrangement is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions involving both aromatic rings.
