(E)-1-(1,3-Benzodioxol-5-yl)-4,4-di-methylpent-1-en-3-one

Abstract

In the molecule of the title compound, C 14H 16O 3, all non-H atoms except for one methyl C atom lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. The conformation with respect to the C=C bond [1.3465 (12) Å] is trans. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds into C(5) chains propagating along [100].
