(E)-1-(2-Fur-yl)-3-(2,4,6-trimeth-oxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

In the title heteroaryl chalcone derivative, C(16)H(16)O(5), the dihedral angle between the furan and benzene rings is 14.45 (6)°. The three meth-oxy groups are almost coplanar with their attached benzene ring [C-C-O-C torsion angles = 2.07 (17), -5.04 (17) and 2.85 (16)°]. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked into X-shaped chains along the c axis by weak C-H⋯O(enone) inter-actions. These chains are stacked along the b axis. C⋯O [3.3308 (13)-3.4123 (14) Å] short contacts are also observed.
