Abstract: Chalcones ( [alpha] , [beta] -unsaturated ketones) are effective antitumour agents. It has been proved that having halogen or methoxy groups substituted in various positions of the phenyl ring enhances the activity of chalcones many times. The title compounds, C₂₁H₂₀O₅ and C₁₉H₁₅BrO₃, respectively, were chosen for crystallographic study in order to determine their structures and conformations. In both compounds, the keto group is in the s-cis conformation and is almost planar. There are weak intramolecular interactions in both structures.

Formula: C₂₁H₂₀O₅ and C₁₉H₁₅BrO₃
