The title compound, C15H10Br2O, is a chalcone with 2-bromophenyl and 4-bromophenyl rings bonded to opposite sides of a propenone group. The dihedral angle between mean planes of the benzene rings is 71.3 (1)°. The angle between the mean plane of the prop-2-ene-1-one group and the mean planes of the 2-bromophenyl and 4-bromophenyl rings are 64.2 (9) and 71.3 (1)°, respectively. A weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interaction and two weak C—Br⋯π interactions are observed, which contribute to the stability of the crystal packing.

A 50% KOH solution was added to a mixture of 2-bromo acetophenone (0.01 mol, 1.99 g) and 4-bromo benzaldehyde (0.01 mol, 1.85 g) in 25 ml of ethanol (Fig. 1). The mixture was stirred for an hour at room temperature and the precipitate was collected by filtration and purified by recrystallization from ethanol. The single-crystal was grown from ethyl acetate by slow evaporation method and yield of the compound was 68% (m.p.373–375 K). Analytical data: Found (Calculated): C %: 49.19 (49.22%); H%: 2.73 (2.75%).
The H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C–H distances = 0.95Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.17–1.22 Ueq(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. |

Chalcones, or 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones, belong to the flavonoid family. Chemically they consist of open-chain flavonoids in which the two aromatic rings are joined by a three-carbon α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system. A vast number of naturally occurring chalcones are polyhydroxylated in the aryl rings. The radical quenching properties of the phenol groups present in many chalcones have raised interest in using the compounds or chalcone rich plant extracts as drugs or food preservatives (Dhar, 1981). Chalcones have been reported to possess many useful properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, anticancer activities (Dimmock et al., 1999). The crystal structures of closely related chalcones, viz., 1,3-bis(4-bromophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Ng et al., 2006) and 3-(3-bromophenyl)-1-(4-bromophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Teh et al., 2006) have been reported. Hence in continuation with the synthesis and crystal structure determination and also owing to the importance of these flavanoid analogs, this bromo chalcone, C15H10Br2O, is synthesized and its crystal structure is reported.
The title compound, C15H10Br2O, is a chalcone with 2-bromophenyl and 4-bromophenyl rings bonded to opposite sides of a propenone group (Fig. 2). The dihedral angle between mean planes of the benzene rings in the ortho-bromo and para-bromo substituted rings is 71.3 (1)°. The angle between the mean plane of the prop-2-ene-1-one group (C1/C7/O1/C8) and the mean planes of the benzene rings in the 2-bromophenyl (C1–C6) and 4-bromophenyl rings (C10–C15) are 64.2 (9)° and 71.3 (1)°, respectively. Bond distances and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). While no classical hydrogen bonds are present, a weak intermolecular C12—H12A···O1 interaction (Table 1) and two weak π-ring intermolecular interactions (Table 2) are observed which contribute to the stability of crystal packing.
