Abstract: The title chalcone, C18H16O3, was prepared by a solventless base-promoted Claisen–Schmidt condensation and, upon recrystallization from ethanol, obtained in 56% yield. The dihedral angle between the indanone ring system and the benzene ring is 2.54 (4) ° and the C atoms of the methoxy groups deviate from the benzene ring by 0.087 (1) and 0.114 (1) Å. In the crystal, π-stacking is the predominant intermolecular force, with the molecules stacking into columns running parallel to the b axis of the unit cell.
