Comment top

1,3-Diaryl-2-propen-1-ones, also known as chalcones, belong to the flavonoid family. The radical quenching properties of the phenolic groups present in many chalcones have raised interest in using the chalcone rich plant extracts as drugs or food preservatives (Dhar, 1981). Chalcones have also been reported to possess many useful properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, antitumor and anticancer activities (Dimmock et al., 1999; Go et al., 2005). They are also finding application as organic nonlinear optical materials (Sarojini et al., 2006).

Owing to the general importance of these flavanoid analogues we report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of a new chalcone, (E)-3-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one.

In the molecule of the title compound (Fig.1) the dichlorobenzoyl and p-bromophenyl substituents are in trans positions with respect to the C8=C9 double bond. The meolecule is non-planar; the dihedral angle formed by the aromatic rings C1-C6 and C10-C15 is equal to 49.58 (1)°.

Experimental top

5 ml of 50% KOH was added to a mixture of 3,4-dichloroacetophenone (0.945 g, 0.005 mol) and 4-bromobenzaldehyde (0.92 g, 0.005 mol) in 25 ml of ethanol. The mixture was then stirred for an hour at room temperature and the precipitate was collected by filtration and purified by recrystallization from ethanol (m.p. 398-402 K; yield 74%). The single crystals were grown by slow evaporation from ethyl acetate. Analytical data: Found (Cald), %: C 50.58 (50.60); H 2.51 (2.55).

Refinement top

All H atoms were located in the difference Fourier map and refined isotropically. The C—H distances are in the range of 0.90-0.96Å.

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