In the title molecule, C16H14OS, the dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 3.81 (15)°. The H atoms of the central enone group are trans. The propenone unit makes dihedral angles of 11.73 (18) and 11.62 (17)° with the benzene and phenyl rings, respectively. The is stabilized by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions.

Benzaldehyde (2.12 g, 0.02 mol) in ethanol (22 ml) was mixed with 4'-(methylthio)acetophenone (3.32 g, 0.02 mol) in 40 ml ethanol and the mixture was treated with 10 ml of 10% sodium hydroxide solution at 283 K and stirred at 303–305 K for 8 h. The precipitate obtained was filtered, washed with chilled ethanol and dried. Pale yellow rods of the title compound were grown from toluene by slow evaporation. The yield of the isolated product was 3.4 g (70%).
H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95 and 0.98 Å for Csp2 and methyl C, respectively; Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H and 1.2 for all other H. There was some minor non-merohedral
resulting in Fo2 being consistently larger than Fc2. The 37 most affected reflections were omitted.Data collection: CrysAlis CCD (Oxford Diffraction, 2007); cell

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

The title compound (Fig. 1) has been analysed as part of our crystallographic studies on chalcones (Thiruvalluvar et al. 2007a,b). The dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 3.81 (15)°; the two rings are essentially coplanar. The H atoms of the central enone group are trans. The propenone unit makes dihedral angles of 11.73 (18)° and 11.62 (17)° with the benzene and phenyl rings, respectively.
The crystal structure is stabilized by a weak C3—H3···O1 intramolecular interaction. Furthermore, C12—H12···π, C15—H15···π and C25—H25···π interactions are also found. In similar structures, such as 1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(3-bromophenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (Sathiya Moorthi, et al. 2005) and 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(3-hydroxy phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Moorthi, et al. 2005), the dihedral angles between the two rings are 9.6 (1)° and 10.2 (2)°, respectively.
