Abstract: In the title molecule, C₁₈H₁₆O₃, the configuaration with respect to the C=C double bond is E. The benzoyl group is rotated out of the mean plane through the rest of the molecule by 88.31 (4)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C-HO interactions to form two-dimensional sheets.
