The conformation about the ethene bond [1.316 (3) Å] in the title compound, C25H18BrNO, is E. The quinoline ring forms dihedral angles of 67.21 (10) and 71.68 (10)° with the benzene and bromo-substituted benzene rings, respectively. Highlighting the non-planar arrangement of aromatic rings, the dihedral angle formed between the benzene rings is 58.57 (12)°.
A mixture of 3-acetyl-2-methyl-4-phenylquinoline (2.6 g 0.01 M) and 4-bromobenzaldehyde (1.84 g 0.01 M), and a catalytic amount of KOH in distilled ethanol was stirred for about 12 h. The resulting mixture was concentrated to remove ethanol, poured onto ice, and neutralized with dilute acetic acid. The resultant solid was filtered, dried, purified by column chromatography using 1:1 mixture of ethyl acetate and petroleum ether, and recrystallized using ethyl acetate; yield: 65 % and m.pt: 459 K.
The C-bound H atoms were geometrically placed (C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

Natural products (Morimoto et al., 1991; Michael, 1997) and biologically active compounds (Markees et al., 1970; Campbell et al., 1998) are known to contain the quinoline nucleus. Quinolines are also known to possess attractive applications as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals (Maguire et al., 1994; Kalluraya & Sreenivasa, 1998; Roma et al., 2000; Chen et al., 2001). The open chain flavanoids, the chalcones, also possess a variety of biological activities (Dimmock et al., 1999). Herein, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of a molecule containing both quinoline and chalcone groups, (I).
In the structure of (I), the conformation about the C17═C18 [1.316 (3) Å] bond is E, Fig. 1. The chalcone residue is essentially planar as seen in the O1–C16–C17–C18 torsion angle of 173.7 (2) °. While the planarity extends out to the 4-bromobenzene ring [the C17–C18–C19–C20 torsion angle is -175.6 (2) °] this is not true for the quinoline residue (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0164 Å) which is twisted out of the plane through the chalcone residue: the C7–C8–C16–C17 torsion angle is 112.9 (2) °. In the same way, the C7-bound benzene ring is significantly twisted out of the plane of the quinoline ring as seen in the C6–C7–C10–C11 torsion angle of -67.0 (3) °. The non-planar nature of the molecule is reflected in the dihedral angles formed between the quinoline molecule and the benzene and bromo-substituted benzene rings of 67.21 (10) and 71.68 (10) °, respectively; the dihedral angle formed between the benzene rings is 58.57 (12) °.
Except for some rather weak π···π interactions [ring centroid(N1,C1,C6–C9)···ring centroid(C1–C6)i distance = 3.8124 (13) Å for i: 2-x, 2-y, -z] between centrosymmetrically related quinoline rings, no specific intermolecular forces are evident in the crystal packing.
