To a mixture of 4-bromoacetophenone (0.01 mol, 1.99 g) and 2-methoxybenzaldehyde (0.01 mol, 1.36 g) in 30 ml of ethanol, 7 ml of 30% KOH solution was added. The mixture was stirred for 6 h at room temperature and the precipitate was collected by filtration and purified by recrystallization from ethanol. Single crystals were grown from a acetone-toluene(1:1 v/v) mixture by the slow evaporation method (m.p.329–331 K). Analytical data: found (calculated): C 60.48 (60.59%), H 4.27 (4.13%).
H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.18–1.51Ueq(C).
Chalcones belong to the flavonoid family. Chemically they consist of open-chain α-unsaturated carbonyl system. A vast number of naturally occurring are polyhydroxylated in the aryl rings. The radical quenching properties of the phenolic groups present in many have raised interest in using the compounds or chalcone rich plant extracts as drugs or food preservatives (Dhar et al., 1981). have been reported to possess many useful properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, anticancer activities (Dimmock et al., 1999). Many have been described for their high antimalarial activity (Troeberg et al., 2000). are finding applications as organic non-linear optical materials (NLO) due to their good SHG conversion efficiencies (Sarojini et al., 2006).

Hence in continuation with the synthesis and determination and also owing to the importance of the title new bromo chalcone is synthesized and its is reported.
in which the two aromatic rings are joined by a three-carbon,The title compound is a chalcone derivative with 4-bromophenyl and 2-methoxy rings bonded at the opposite ends of a propenone group, the biologically active region (Fig 1). The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the bromo and methoxy substituted benzene rings is 24.6 (1)°. The methoxy (C16—O2—C15—C14 = -2.5 (2)°) substituted benzene ring is virtually planar to the prop-2-en-1-one group (dihedral angle = 6.0 (1)°), whereas the bromo substituted benzene ring attached to the prop-2-en-1-one is slightly twisted (O1—C7—C1—C2 = -16.7 (2)°). Bond distances and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987).

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 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-unsaturated carbonyl system. A vast number of naturally occurring chalcones are polyhydroxylated in the aryl rings. The radical quenching properties of the phenolic groups present in many chalcones have raised interest in using the compounds or chalcone rich plant extracts as drugs or food preservatives (Dhar et al., 1981). Chalcones have been reported to possess many useful properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, anticancer activities (Dimmock et al., 1999). Many chalcones have been described for their high antimalarial activity (Troeberg et al., 2000). Chalcones are finding applications as organic non-linear optical materials (NLO) due to their good SHG conversion efficiencies (Sarojini et al., 2006). The crystal structures of closely related chalcones, viz. 4-bromo-4'-methoxychalcone (Li et al., 1992), 4-bromo-4'-methoxychalcone (Arai et al., 1994), 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Shettigar et al., 2006), 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one, (Rosli et al., 2006), 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Ng et al., 2006), (2E)-3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-1-(4-bromophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Harrison et al., 2006), and 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Patil et al., 2007) and (E)-1-(6-chloro-2-methyl-4-phenyl-3-quinolyl)-3- (2-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Loh et al., 2010) have been reported. Hence in continuation with the synthesis and crystal structure determination and also owing to the importance of chalcones, the title new bromo chalcone is synthesized and its crystal structure is reported.
The title compound is a chalcone derivative with 4-bromophenyl and 2-methoxy rings bonded at the opposite ends of a propenone group, the biologically active region (Fig 1). The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the bromo and methoxy substituted benzene rings is 24.6 (1)°. The methoxy (C16—O2—C15—C14 = -2.5 (2)°) substituted benzene ring is virtually planar to the prop-2-en-1-one group (dihedral angle = 6.0 (1)°), whereas the bromo substituted benzene ring attached to the prop-2-en-1-one is slightly twisted (O1—C7—C1—C2 = -16.7 (2)°). Bond distances and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987).
