In the title compound, C17H16O3, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 4.59 (7)° and an intramolecular O-H
O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by C-H
O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of [001] supramolecular chains. Weak C-H
interactions consolidate the packing.
2-Hydroxy-5-methylacetophenone (1.50 g, 0.01 mol) was mixed with 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (1.36 g, 0.01 mol) and dissolved in ethanol (40 ml). To this solution, 5 ml of KOH (50%) was added at 278 K. The reaction mixture stirred for 6 h and poured on to crushed ice. The pH of this mixture was adjusted to 3–4 with 2 M HCl aqueous solution. The resulting crude yellow solid was filtered, washed successively with dilute HCl solution and distilled water and finally recrystallized from ethanol (95%) to give the pure chalcone. Orange blocks of (I) were grown by the slow evaporation of the solution of the compound in ethyl alcohol (m. p.: 361 K). Composition: Found (Calculated) for C17H16O3, C: 76.10 (76.16); H: 6.01 (6.05).
H1O1 atom attached to the O atom was located from the difference map and refined freely [O–H = 0.94 (2) Å]. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å] and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups.

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. |

In continuation of our studies on the crystal structures of chalcones (Fun et al., 2010), we now report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I). The structures of some related chalcones viz: (Z)-3-(9-anthryl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Chantrapromma et al., 2009), (Z)-3-(9-anthryl)- 1-(2-thienyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Fun et al., 2009), (E)-3- (anthracen-9-yl)-1-(4-bromophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Suwunwong et al., 2009), (Z)-3-(9-anthryl)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(4-nitro-1H- imidazol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (Lu et al., 2009),(Z)-3- (9-anthryl)-2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-p-tolylprop- 2-en-1-one (Wang et al., 2009), (E)-3-(9-anthryl)-1- (4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (Wang et al., 2010), (E)-3-(anthracen-9-yl)-1-(furan-2-yl) prop-2-en-1-one (Horkaew et al., 2010), and an orthorhombic polymorph of (Z)-3-(9-anthryl)-1-(2-thienyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Chantrapromma et al., 2010) and 2(E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(4-chlorophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (Jasinski et al.,2011) have been reported.
The molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1. An intramolecular O1—H1O1···O2 hydrogen bond (Table 1) stabilizes the molecular structure and forms an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The dihedral angle between the phenyl (C1–C6) ring and the methoxy-substituted phenyl (C10–C15) ring is 4.59 (7)°. Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and are comparable to the related structures (Fun et al., 2010).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked into infinite one-dimensional chain along the c-axis by intermolecular C11—H11A···O3 hydrogen bonds (Table 1). There are also C—H···π interactions (Table 1) which involves C16 and phenyl ring (Cg1 = C1–C6).
