In the title compound, C15H13Cl2NOS, the benzene and thiophene rings make a dihedral angle of 10.8 (1)°. The dimethylamino substituent and the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group are almost coplanar with respect to the aromatic ring, forming dihedral angles of 4.73 (3)° and 5.0 (2)°, respectively. In the molecules are connected into two-dimensional layers by weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and C—Cl⋯O [Cl⋯O = 3.073 (2) Å] interactions. These layers are stacked with short C(methyl)–H⋯π contacts betweeen the layers.

1-(2,5-Dichlorothiophen-3-yl)ethanone (1.95 g, 0.01 mol) was mixed with 4-dimethylamino)-benzaldehyde (1.49 g, 0.01 mol) and dissolved in ethanol (30 ml). 3 ml of KOH (50%) was added to this solution. The reaction mixture was stirred for 6 hours. The resulting crude solid was filtered, washed successively with distilled water and finally recrystallized from ethanol (95%) to give the pure chalcone. Crystals suitable for x-ray diffraction studies were grown by slow evaporation of solution in toluene (M.P.: 358 K).
H atoms were placed in idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C–H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for phenyl hydrogen and olefinic CH groups and with 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(C) for CH3 groups.
Chalcones derivatives are known for their interesting pharmacological activities. Radical quenching properties of the phenolic groups present in many
have raised interest in using the compounds themselves or chalcone rich plant extracts as drugs or food preservatives. Apart from being biologically important compounds, chalcone derivatives show non-linear optical properties with excellent blue light transmittance and good crystallizability (Indira et al., 2002; Sarojini et al., 2006). They provide a necessary configuration to show NLO property with two planar rings connected by a conjugated double bond. Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of new containing a 2,5-dichlorothiophene moiety is reported (Tomar et al., 2007). Here, we report the synthesis and of the new chalcone derivative, (2E)-1-(2,5-dichlorothiophen-3-yl)-3-(4-dimethylamino-phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (I, Scheme 1) .The molecule as a whole does not deviate significantly from planarity (Fig. 1). Dihedral angles between the constituent planar fragments are relatively small. The two ring planes of the phenyl and thiophene groups make a dihedral angle of 10.8 (1)°. The dimethylamino substituent and the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moeity are inclined with respect to the phenyl ring plane by 4.73 (3)° and 5.0 (2)°, respectively. The bond lengths pattern within the C(=O)—C=C- fragment shows significant conjugation with shorter formal single bonds compared to formal double bonds that are longer than typical values.
In the π interactions with H16A···Cg distance of 3.01Å (Cg is the centroid of the phenyl ring).
an intermolecular C–H···Cl hydrogen bond (H···Cl distance 2.72 Å, C–H···Cl angle 168°) and C—Cl···O interactions connect the molecules into approximately planar layers parallel to (101) (Fig. 2). The chlorine oxygen interaction also is almost linear (C2–Cl2···O6 angle of 167.6 (8)°) and relatively short (Cl2···O6 3.073 (2) Å). These layers are stacked on each other showing additional intermolecular C–H···For applications of chalcone derivatives, see: Indira et al. (2002); Sarojini et al. (2006); Tomar et al. (2007).

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. |

Chalcones derivatives are known for their interesting pharmacological activities. Radical quenching properties of the phenolic groups present in many chalcones have raised interest in using the compounds themselves or chalcone rich plant extracts as drugs or food preservatives. Apart from being biologically important compounds, chalcone derivatives show non-linear optical properties with excellent blue light transmittance and good crystallizability (Indira et al., 2002; Sarojini et al., 2006). They provide a necessary configuration to show NLO property with two planar rings connected by a conjugated double bond. Synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of new chalcones containing a 2,5-dichlorothiophene moiety is reported (Tomar et al., 2007). Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the new chalcone derivative, (2E)-1-(2,5-dichlorothiophen-3-yl)-3-(4-dimethylamino-phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (I, Scheme 1) .
The molecule as a whole does not deviate significantly from planarity (Fig. 1). Dihedral angles between the constituent planar fragments are relatively small. The two ring planes of the phenyl and thiophene groups make a dihedral angle of 10.8 (1)°. The dimethylamino substituent and the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moeity are inclined with respect to the phenyl ring plane by 4.73 (3)° and 5.0 (2)°, respectively. The bond lengths pattern within the C(=O)—C=C- fragment shows significant conjugation with shorter formal single bonds compared to formal double bonds that are longer than typical values.
In the crystal structure an intermolecular C–H···Cl hydrogen bond (H···Cl distance 2.72 Å, C–H···Cl angle 168°) and C—Cl···O interactions connect the molecules into approximately planar layers parallel to (101) (Fig. 2). The chlorine oxygen interaction also is almost linear (C2–Cl2···O6 angle of 167.6 (8)°) and relatively short (Cl2···O6 3.073 (2) Å). These layers are stacked on each other showing additional intermolecular C–H···π interactions with H16A···Cg distance of 3.01Å (Cg is the centroid of the phenyl ring).
