4-Methoxybenzyl chloride (0.06 mol) was heated in a 100 ml round-bottomed flask with trimethylphosphite (20 ml) until the evolution of methyl chloride had ceased. The excess trimethylphosphite was removed by distillation in vacuo. The residue was charged with 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (DMBA, 0.06 mol), KOH (7.5 g) and DMSO (50 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at 303 K until there was no DMBA detected by thin-layer chromatography. Then water (50 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed by distillation in vacuo. The resulting (E)-3,5,4'-trimethoxystilbene was pure, according to HPLC; yield 15.4 g (95%), m.p. 329.5–330.5 K (literature m.p. 330 K; Ali et al., 1992). Crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution in ethyl acetate. 1H NMR spectrum (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 3.83 (9H, s), 6.38 (1H, t; J = 2 Hz, H-4), 6.65 (2H, d; J = 2 Hz, H-2, 6), 6.87–6.93 (3H, m), 7.04 (1H, d; J = 16 Hz, –CH═CH–), 7.45 (2 H, d; J = 8.8 Hz, H-2', 6').

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Recently, (E)-stilbene derivatives have attracted considerable interest because of their non-linear optical properties (Bustmante et al., 1995; Papper & Likhtenshtein, 2001) and biological activities. The title compound, (I), is a key intermediate in the synthesis of trans-resveratrol, which has been shown to prevent cancer, lower blood pressure, and reduce osteoporosis (Frémont, 2000; Savouret & Quesne, 2002).
There are two molecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1); the 3,5-dimethoxy groups adopt s-syn and s-anti conformations in moleules A and B, respectively. The torsion angles of the 4-methoxy groups relative to the benzene rings in A and B are −171.1 (3) and 170.3 (2)°, respectively, and those of the 3,5-dimethoxy groups are in the range 174.9 (3)–177.8 (3)°. The fact that these methoxy groups are almost coplanar with the benzene rings indicates that all these O atoms are sp2 hybridized (Zhang et al., 2001; Zheng et al., 2001). The angles between the benzene ring planes in A and B are 26.1 (3) and 25.0 (3)°, respectively; however, that in 2,4'-dihydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-5-methylstilbene is 8.90 (9)° (Li et al., 1999). From Fig. 1, it can be seen that the alkene moieties are slightly twisted; the torsion angles C1—C6—C7—C8 and C7—C8—C9—C10 in molecule A are 165.3 (3) and 170.8 (3)°, respectively, while C21—C22—C24—C25 and C24—C25—C26—C31 in molecule B are −159.6 (3) and −178.1 (3)°, respectively.
