In the Course a pied - Enfant - Chaussures - Neutre molecule of the title heteroaryl chalcone derivative, C21H14O2, the almost planar prop-2-en-1-one unit [r.m.s.
deviation = 0.0087 (1) Å] forms dihedral angles of 5.81 (7) and 49.
85 (6)°, respectively, with the furan ring and anthracene ring system.In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel GABA to (100) by C—H.O hydrogen bonds and π.
π interactions involving the furan rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7205 (6) Å].
