In the title compound, C22H16O, the six-membered ring within the anthrone moiety adopts a shallow boat conformation, with puckering parameters Q = 0.2860 (17) Å, Θ = 99.1 (3)° and Φ = 114.8 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the outer benzene rings is 26.53 (8)°. The mean plane through the anthrone ring system makes a dihedral angle of 38.73 (6)° with the pendant benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains propagating along the c-axis direction and weak C—H⋯π interactions further consolidate the structure.

The title compound was synthesized as reported (Prinz et al., 2003) and crystallized EtOAc by slow evaporation technique.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.95 and 0.98 Å] and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 and 1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups. A total of 2319 Freidel pairs were used to determine the absolute structure.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

As part of our ongoing studies of anthrone derivatives (Arumugam et al., 2011), we have undertaken the X-ray crystal structure determination of the title compound, (I).
In the molecular structure (Fig 1), the six-membered ring (C1/C6–C8/C13/C14) within the anthracene moiety adopts a boat conformation with puckering parameters Q= 0.2860 (17) Å, Θ= 99.1 (3)° and Φ= 114.8 (3)° (Cremer & Pople, 1975). This differs from the planar anthracene ring reported in related structure (Arumugam et al., 2011). The mean plane through the anthracene ring (C1–C14) makes a dihedral angle of 38.73 (6)° with the phenyl ring (C16–C21). The bond lengths and angles are comparable those in the related structure (Wen & Li, 2008; Zhou et al., 2004).
The crystal packing is shown in Fig. 2. The molecules are linked by the intermolecular C3—H3A···O1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into infinite one dimensional zigzag chain along the c-axis. In addition, the crystal structure are further stabilized by the intermolecular C22—H22C···Cg1 and C17—H17A···Cg2 (Table 1) interactions (Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of C1–C6 and C16–C21 rings, respectively).
