The title compound, C17H15BrO3, is a chalcone with the 2-bromophenyl and 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl rings bonded at opposite ends of a propene group. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the ortho-bromo and ortho,meta-dimethoxy-substituted benzene rings is 77.3 (1)°. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the prop-2-ene-1-one group and the mean planes of the 2-bromophenyl and 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl rings are 58.6 (1) and 30.7 (4)°, respectively. Weak C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Br and π–π stacking intermolecular interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.650 (2) Å] are present in the structure.

A 50% (wt) KOH solution (50 ml) was added to a mixture of 2-bromo acetophenone (0.01 mol, 1.99 g) and 2,5-dimethoxy benzaldehyde (0.01 mol, 1.66 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. Single crystals (triangular plates with their longest edges 0.3 - 0.5 mm long) were grown from ethyl acetate by slow evaporation method and yield of the compound was 75% (m.p. 355–357 K). Analytical data: Found (Calculated): C %: 58.76 (58.81%); H%: 4.31 (4.35%).
All the hydrogen atoms could have been discerned in the difference
nevertheless, all the H atoms were constrained in the riding motion approximation. Caryl—H = 0.95 Å, with Uĩso(H) = 1.20Ueq(C). Cmethyl—H = 0.98 Å, with Uiso(H)=1.50Ueq(C).Chalcones, or 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones, belong to the flavonoid family. Chemically they consist of open-chain α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system. A vast number of naturally occurring are polyhydroxylated in the aryl rings. The radical quenching properties of the phenol groups present in many have raised interest in using the compounds or chalcone rich plant extracts as drugs or food preservatives (Dhar, 1981). have been reported to possess many useful biological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, anticancer activities (Dimmock et al., 1999). The crystal structures of closely related viz., 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) have been reported. Hence in continuation with the synthesis and determination and also owing to the importance of these flavanoid analogs, this new bromo chalcone C17H15BrO3 has been synthesized (Fig. 1) and its is reported.
in which the two aromatic rings are joined by a three-carbonThe title compound, C17H15BrO3, is a chalcone with 2-bromophenyl and 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl rings bonded at opposite ends of a propene group (Fig. 2). The dihedral angle between mean planes of the benzene rings in the ortho-bromo and ortho- meta-diimethoxy substituted rings is 77.3 (1)°. The angles 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 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl rings (C10—C15) are 58.6 (1)° and 30.7 (4)°, respectively. Bond distances and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). While no classical hydrogen bonds are present, weak C3—H3···O2, C4—H4···Br1 (Tab. 1) and π-electron ring - π-electron ring interactions [Cg1···Cg1i = 3.650 (2) Å; i: -x, 1 - y, 1 - z; Cg1 is the centroid of the ring C10—C15] are observed which contribute to the stability of crystal packing (Fig. 3).

Experimental. IR data (KBr) ν cm-1: 2832 cm-1, 2949 cm-1, 2987 cm-1 (C—H al. str), 3453 cm-1 (C—H ar. str) 1680 cm-1 (C=O), 1593 cm-1 (C=C); 1231 cm-1 (C—O—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 biological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, anticancer activities (Dimmock et al., 1999). The crystal structures of closely related chalcones, viz., 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) have been reported. Hence in continuation with the synthesis and crystal structure determination and also owing to the importance of these flavanoid analogs, this new bromo chalcone C17H15BrO3 has been synthesized (Fig. 1) and its crystal structure is reported.
The title compound, C17H15BrO3, is a chalcone with 2-bromophenyl and 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl rings bonded at opposite ends of a propene group (Fig. 2). The dihedral angle between mean planes of the benzene rings in the ortho-bromo and ortho- meta-diimethoxy substituted rings is 77.3 (1)°. The angles 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 2,5-dimethoxyphenyl rings (C10—C15) are 58.6 (1)° and 30.7 (4)°, respectively. Bond distances and angles are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). While no classical hydrogen bonds are present, weak C3—H3···O2, C4—H4···Br1 (Tab. 1) and π-electron ring - π-electron ring interactions [Cg1···Cg1i = 3.650 (2) Å; i: -x, 1 - y, 1 - z; Cg1 is the centroid of the ring C10—C15] are observed which contribute to the stability of crystal packing (Fig. 3).
