[2,7-Dimeth­oxy-8-(4-meth­oxy­benzo­yl)naphthalen-1-yl](4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)methanone chloro­form monosolvate

In the title compound, C₂₈H₂₄O₆·CHCl₃, the two 4-meth­oxy­benzoyl groups at the 1- and 8-positions of the naphthalene ring system are aligned almost anti­parallel, the benzene rings making a dihedral angle of 25.76 (7)°. The naphthalene ring system makes dihedral angles of 72.51 (7) and 73.33 (7)° with the benzene rings. In the crystal, the naphthalene mol­ecules are linked by C—H...O inter­actions, forming a helical chain along the b-axis direction. A C—H...Cl inter­action is also observed between the aroylated naphthalene and chloro­form mol­ecules. The chloro­form mol­ecule is disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.478 (5) and 0.522 (5).

The title compound, C₃₂H₃₂O₆, crystallized with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each molecule has essentially the same feature of non-coplanar aromatic rings whereby the two 4-isopropoxybenzoyl groups are twisted in a perpendicular manner to the naphthalene ring and oriented in the same direction (syn-orientation). The benzene rings of the aroyl groups make dihedral angles of 16.13 (7) and 25.31 (7)° in the two molecules. These benzene rings make dihedral angles of 88.38 (8) and 75.32 (7)° with the naphthalene ring system in one molecule, and 89.71 (7) and 82.11 (7)° in the other. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In one independent molecule, the 2-propyl groups of both isoprop­oxy groups are disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.512 (3) and 0.488 (3).
