In the title molecule, C18H18O4, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 52.52 (7)°. The C=C bond of the central enone group adopts a trans conformation. The relative conformation of the two double bonds in the enone group is s-transoid. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of weak C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.

In the title molecule, C22H20O5, the C=C bond of the central enone group adopts an E conformation. The dihedral angle formed by the benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system is 12.6 (4)°. The hydroxy group attached to the naphthalene ring is involved in an intramolecular O—HO hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak C—HO hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along [010]. In addition, π–π stacking interactions are present, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.6648 (15) and 3.8661 (15) Å between the benzene and two naphthalene rings.
