The title compound, C 23 H 24 O 5 , a bis(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)cyclopentanone derivative related to curcumin, shows noncrystallographic C 2 v symmetry with two noncrystallographic mirror planes intersecting the cyclopentanone ring, resulting in a noncrystallographic twofold axis along the C=O double bond. The molecule is basically planar, the angles between the planes of the cyclopentanone ring and those of the two benzene rings being 2.5 (3) and 1.2 (7)°. The dihedral angles of both methoxy groups with the benzene rings are nearly identical [179.05 (11), 177.88 (11), −172.51 (12) and 176.11 (13)°]. The two 3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl groups also lie within the plane of the molecule and the angle between them is 1.4 (1)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
