The crystal structure of the title compound, C32H24O4, contains three fused
dihydropyran rings (A, B and C); ring A is fused with a benzene ring while
the other two rings, B and C, are fused with naphthalene rings. Ring A ado
pts a half-chair conformation with an equatorial methoxy group, whereas rin
g B assumes a distorted half-chair conformation, the A/B ring junction bein
g trans. Ring C adopts a distorted half-boat conformation and is nearly ort
hogonal to ring B. Ring C is inclined to the best plane of ring A at an ang
le of 112.1 (1)degrees.
