In the title compound, C16H12O2, the six-membered ring adopts a half-chair
conformation and the fused five-membered ring is in a conformation between
flattened sofa and half-chair. The propargyl residue is twisted diagonally
towards the five-membered ring. In the solid state, the propargyl group is
involved in C-H ... O intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form an infinite one
-dimensional chain along the a axis.
