In the title compound, C17H10Br2O5, the chromene ring is almost planar with minimal puckering [total puckering amplitude = 0.067 (4) Å]. The dihedral angle between chromeme ring system and phenyl ring is 3.7 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C-H
O interactions and an intramolecular O-H
O hydrogen bond also occurs.
In to the RBF, a suspension of chrysin (1 g, 3.93 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.64 g, 11.81 mmol) in dimethyl formamide (10 ml) were added. The reaction mixture was heated to 383 K for 2–3 hrs. The reaction mixture was cooled to 313 K and acetyl chloride (1.23 g, 15.74 mmol) was slowly added with the help of dropping funnel. The reaction mixture was maintained for 8–9 hr at 313 K and monitored by HPLC. After completion of the reaction, the contents were quenched with water and stirred for 30–45 min at 303 K. The crude solid obtained was filtered and washed with plenty of water followed by methanol and dried under vacuum at 343 K. The acetylated compound was then taken in RBF and dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml) and cooled to 273 K. Bromine (0.6 ml, 11.81 mmol) was added dropwise over a period of 15–20 min. The reaction mixture was maintained at 273 K for 5–6 hr. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was quenched in ice water and extracted with dichloromethane (10 ml) and purified by column chromatography using ethyl acetate: n-hexane (20:80). The crude brominated product was then dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml) and equal amount of n-Hexane (10 ml). The clear solution was kept for a week without stirring. Diffraction quality needle shaped crystals of average size 0.23 mm were obtained which were filtered and washed with n-hexane and dried under vacuum at 343 K. Yield: 80%
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 0.96 Å for aryl and methylene H, respectively and O–H = 0.82Å for hydroxyl H-atoms and and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C) for C—H and Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(O) for O—H.

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. |

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, polyfunctionalized 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 and compounds containing the benzopyran fragment, the single-crystal X-ray diffraction study on the title compound was carried out.
The chromene ring is almost planar similarly as those found in the related chromene derivatives (Wang, Fang et al., 2003; Wang, Zhang et al., 2003). The total puckering amplitude of the chromene ring is 0.067 (4) Å in the title structure. The interplanar angle between the chromene ring and the 2-phenyl ring is 3.7 (2)° thereby indicating the almost coplanar arrangement (Fig. 1). The OCOCH3 substituent at C7 is non-coplanar with the chromene ring as discerned from the interplanar angle of 87.4 (1)°.
The crystal structure is stabilized by the interplay of C–H···O and O–H···O interactions (Fig. 2 & Table 1). The H-bond distances agree with those reported in literature (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999; Desiraju, 1989). The C20–H20···O1 interaction generates a motif of graph set (Bernstein et al., 1995; Etter, 1990) S(5). An S(6) motif is formed by O12–H12···O11 interaction. This interaction is also responsible for the formation of a cooperative H-bonded network (Fig. 3). The C3–H3···O11i and C24–H24···O11i interactions constitute a pair of bifurcated acceptor bonds generating a ring of graph set R12(7). There are no significant C—H···π and π···π interactions.
