{2,7-Dieth­oxy-8-[(naphthalen-2-yl)carbon­yl]naphthalen-1-yl}(naphthalen-2-yl)methanone

In the title compound, C₃₆H₂₈O₄, the two 2-naphthoyl groups at the 1- and 8-positions of the central 2,7-dieth­oxy­naphthalene ring system are aligned almost anti­parallel and make a dihedral angle of 48.35 (5)°. The dihedral angles between the central 2,7-dieth­oxy­naphthalene ring system and the terminal naphthalene ring systems are 77.64 (4) and 73.73 (4)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into chains along the a-axis direction by dual C—H...O inter­actions between naphthoyl groups.
