title: Crystal structure of 4-[(2E)-3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)prop-2-eno-yl]phenyl benzoate.
abstract: In the title compound, C23H18O4, the meth-oxy-benzene ring and attached C=C grouping are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.823 (5):0.177 (5) ratio. The dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the pendant phenyl and meth-oxy-benzene ring (major orientation) are 51.21 (1) and 51.6 (1)°, respectively. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R 2 (2)(28) loops.
