Abstract top

In the title compound, C21H18O4, tthe dihedral angle between the chromene ring system and the pendant phenyl ring is 6.1 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by an intermolecular C-H...O and C-H...[pi] interactions.

Comment top

Chromenes (benzopyrans) and their derivatives have numerous biological and pharmacological properties (Tang et al., 2007) such as antisterility (Brooks, 1998) and anticancer activity (Hyana & Saimoto, 1987). In addition, polyfunctional chromene units are present in numerous natural products (Hatakeyama et al., 1988). 4H-chromenes are important synthons for some natural products (Liu et al., 2007). As a part of our structural investigations on 4H-chromene derivatives, the single-crystal X-ray diffraction study on the title compound was carried out.

The chromene ring is almost planar: The puckering amplitude of the chromene ring is 0.097 (3) Å. In the related chromene derivatives (Wang, Zhang et al., 2003; Wang, Fang et al., 2003), the chromene ring is also planar. In the title structure, the interplanar angle between the chromene ring and the 2-phenyl ring is 6.1 (1)° thereby indicating their almost coplanar arrangement (Fig. 1). The propenyloxy substituents at both C5 and C7 are coplanar with the chromene ring with the respective interplanar angles 1.7 (2)° and 8.8 (2)°.

The crystal structure is stabilized by the interplay of C–H···O and C–H···π interactions (Fig. 2, Table 1; Desiraju & Steiner, 1999; Desiraju, 1989). Each of C15–H15A···O12, C19–H19A···O16 and C25–H25···O1 interactions are involved in the S(5) motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995; Etter, 1990).

Experimental top

A suspension of chrysin (3.93 mmol, 1.00 g) and potassium carbonate (11.81 mmol, 1.64 g) in dimethyl formamide (10 ml) were added into a round bottom flask. The reaction mixture was heated to 383 K for 2–3 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 333 K and allyl bromide (15.74 mmol, 1.90 g) was slowly added to the reaction mixture with the help of a dropping funnel. The reaction mixture was maintained for 8–9 h at 333 K and monitored by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). After completion of the reaction, the content was quenched with water and stirred for 30–45 min at 303 K. T he obtained crude solid was filtered and washed with plenty of water followed by methanol and dried under vacuum at 343 K. The compound was purified by column chromatography using ethyl acetate/n-hexane (1:1) as eluent. All highly pure column fractions were concentrated in a rota evaporator. The dried compound was dissolved in dichloromethane/hexane (1:1) mixture (10 ml). The clear solution was kept for a week and the resulting needle shaped crystals of average size 0.3 mm were washed with n-hexane. The crystals were dried over high vacuum at 343–348 K. Yield: 90%

Refinement top

In the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects, 1488 Friedel pairs have been merged. All the H-atoms were observed in the difference electron density map. However, they were situated into idealized positions with C–H = 0.93 and 0.97 Å for aryl and methylene H, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
