1-(2,5-Dichlorothiophen-3-yl)ethanone (1.95 g, 0.01 mol) was mixed with 6-methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (1.86 g, 0.01 mol) and dissolved in ethanol (30 ml). To this, 3 ml of KOH (50%) was added (Fig. 3). The reaction mixture was stirred for 6 h. The resulting crude solid was filtered, washed successively with distilled water and finally recrystallized from ethanol (95%) to give the pure chalcone. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were grown by the slow evaporation of the acetone-toluene (1:1) solution (m.p. 401–403 K).
H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with C–H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.18–1.50Ueq(C).

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. |

Thiophenes are important heterocyclic compounds that are widely used as building blocks in many agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Thiophene containing compounds are well known to exhibit various biological activities such as antioxidant activity (Ferreira et al., 2006), anti-inflammatory agents and anti-HIV PR inhibitors (Bonini et al., 2005). Thiophene derivatives not only being biologically active (Kulikova et al., 1980), but also show antiradiation activity (Hassan et al., 1998).
The synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of new chalcones containing 2,5-dichlorothiophene moiety is reported (Tomar et al., 2007). Chalcones have been reported to possess many useful properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, antitumor and anticancer activities (Nowakowska et al., 2007). In view of the importance of thiophenes, we report here the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the title molecule, the 2,5-dichloro-3-thienyl and 6-methoxy-2-naphthyl rings are bonded at the opposite ends of the propenone group, the biologically active region (Fig.1). The dihedral angle between mean planes of the dichlorothienyl and naphtyl rings is 2.13 (4)°. The angles between the mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group and the mean planes of the thienyl and naphtyl rings are 3.08 (4)°, and 2.88 (4)° repectively. In the crystal, pairs of weak intermolecular C2—H18···O2 hydrogen bonds form dimers and contribute to crystal stability.
