title: (Benzofuran-2-yl)(3-methyl-3-phenylcyclobutyl)methanone.
abstract: The structure of the title compound, C20H18O2, consists of a dimeric arrangement of benzofuran molecules around an inversion centre, linked via C-H...O hydrogen bonds. There are also C-H...pi ring interactions. All these interactions result in the formation of infinite chains parallel to the [100] axis. The cyclobutane ring is puckered, with a dihedral angle of 29.03 (13) degrees between the two three-atom planes.
