(Biphenyl-4-yl)[2-(4-methyl-benzo-yl)phen-yl]methanone.

In the title compound, C(27)H(20)O(2), the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 64.86 (7) and 70.35 (7)° with the methyl-substituted ring and the biphenyl ring system, respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions, which link the mol-ecules into chains parallel to the b axis.
