In the title compound [systematic name: 1-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one], C19H20O5, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 26.88 (5)°. One of the methoxy groups is twisted slightly away from the plane [C—O—C—C torsion angle = −12.8 (3)°] while the others are almost co-planer [C—O—C—C torsion angles = −3.2 (3), 2.6 (3) and −3.6 (3)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions. A weak intramolecular C—H⋯O interaction occurs.

The title compoud was synthesized according to the procedure by Kraus et al. (2008) Freshly ground KOH (1.55 g; 27.80 mmol; 5 eq.) was added to a cold (ice bath) stirring solution of 2',4'-dimethoxyacetophenone (1.00 g; 5.56 mmol) and 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (1.13 g; 7.12 mmol; 1.2 eq.) in EtOH (40 ml). The reaction mixture was allowed to heat to room temperature and stirred to completion (TLC). Ice was added to the reaction mixture prior to acidification with concentrated HCl (litmus). Extraction was performed with EtOAc (3 x 100 ml) and the organic fractions combined. The organic phase was neutralized with a δ 7.69 (1H, d, J = 8.61 Hz, H-6'), 7.58 (1H, d, J = 15.71 Hz, H-β), 7.33 (1H, d, J = 15.71 Hz, H-α), 7.14 (1H, dd, J = 1.92, 8.32 Hz, H-5), 7.08 (1H, d, J = 1.92 Hz, H-2), 6.84 (1H, d, J = 8.32 Hz, H-6), 6.52 (1H, dd, J = 2.25, 8.61 Hz, H-5'), 6.46 (1H, d, J = 2.25 Hz, H– 3'), 3.88 (3H, s, –OCH3), 3.87 (3H, s, –OCH3), 3.85 (3H, s, –OCH3), 3.82 (3H, s, –OCH3); 13C NMR (151 MHz, CDCl3) δ 190.58, 163.96, 160.21, 150.95, 149.11, 142.34 (C-β), 132.63 (C-6'), 128.39, 125.28 (C-α), 122.60 (C-5), 122.36, 111.13 (C-6), 110.24 (C-2), 105.14 (C-5'), 98.66 (C-3'), 55.94 (–OCH3), 55.86 (–OCH3), 55.71 (–OCH3), 55.50 (–OCH3).

Rf 0.16 (H:A; 8:2); Mp 88.3 °C; 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3)The aromatic H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on its parent atoms with Uiso (H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and at a distance of 0.93 Å. The hydrogen atoms of the methine (H8 and H9) group were determined from a difference Fourier map and their positional parameters freely refined (C8—H8 = 0.96 (2)Å and C9—H9 = 1.01 (2) Å). The methyl H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on its parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) and at a distance of 0.96 Å.

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. |

Flavonoids are a prominent class of secondary plant metabolites known for their wide range of biological active compounds that exibit antibacterial, antifugal, antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties (Pietta et al., 2003). Chalcones are an important subclass of these compounds and are often utilized as intermediates in the synthesis of a variety of cyclic flavonoids (Marais et al., 2005). Furthermore, many chalcone derivatives are known to have excellent non-linear optical (NLO) properties (Fichou et al., 1988; Uchida et al., 1998; Patil et al., 2006a,b). We report here a new chalcone which we have successfully synthesized (the title compound, (I)). Bond distances in (I) have normal values (Allen et al., 1987) and bond angles and distances are comparable to those in related structures (Teh et al., 2006a,b,c; Patil et al., 2006a,b,c; Rosli et al. 2006). The least squares plane through the enone group (C7, C8, C9 and O3) exhibit dihedral angles of 29.2 (1)° and 4.5 (1)° with the C1—C6 and C10—C15 benzene rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 26.88 (5)°. The methoxy group attached at C1 is slightly twisted away from the C1—C6 benzene ring plane, with a C16—O1—C1—C2 torsion angle of -12.8 (3)°. The methoxy groups at C3, C12 and C13 are almost co-planar with the C1—C6 and C10—C15 benzene rings with C17—O2—C3—C2, C18—O4—C12—C11 and C19—O5—C13—C14 torsion angels of -3.2 (3)°, 2.6 (3)° and -3.6 (3)°, respectively. An intramolecular C8—H8···O1 hydrogen bond is observed in the molecular structure of (I), while the molecules form chains through intermolecular C18—H18B···O3i hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
