Comment top

As part of our ongoing studies of chalcones (Yathirajan et al., 2007), the title compound, (I), was serendipitiously prepapred by the bromination of ((2E)-3-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one. As well the intended bromination as the central double bond, an excess of bromine also brominated of one of the naphthalene C atoms.

In the structure of (I) (Fig. 1) the two aromatic residues are almost coplanar to each other [dihedral angle 9.92 (6)°]. The two Br atoms at the sp3 C atoms are trans with respect to each other [Br1—C1—C2—Br2 = 177.6 (3)°].

Experimental top

(2E)-3-(6-Methoxy-2-naphthyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (3.18 g, 0.01 mol) was treated with bromine in acetic acid (30%) until the orange colour of the solution persisted. After stirring for half an hour, the contents were poured on to crushed ice. The resulting solid mass was collected by filtration. The compound was dried and recrystallized from ethanol. Colourless plates of (I) were obtained from acetone by slow evaporation (yield 78%; m.p.: 453–455 K). Analysis for C21H17Br3O3: found (calculated): C: 45.20 (45.28); H: 3.01% (3.08%).

Refinement top

The H atoms were found in a difference map and were relocated to idealized positions (C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C). The methyl groups were allowed to rotate but not to tip. The highest difference peak is 0.96 Å from Br2.

Special details top

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.
