In the title compound, C16H16O2S, the central propenone group is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 Å) and subtends dihedral angles of 8.55 (8) and 16.22 (8)° to the 2-methoxyphenyl and 2,5-dimethylthiophene residues, respectively. The dihedral angle between the ring systems is 23.47 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯π interactions and aromatic π–π stacking [phenyl ring centroid–centroid separation = 3.6418 (11) Å; thiophene–thiophene ring separation = 3.8727 (9) Å].

A solution of 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethythiophene (0.38 g, 2.5 mmol) and 2-methoxybenzaldehyde (0.31 g, 2.5 mmol) in ethanolic solution of NaOH (3.0 g in 10 ml of methanol) was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. The solution was poured into ice cold water of pH = 2 (pH adjusted by HCl). The solid was separated and dissolved in CH2Cl2, washed with
of NaHCO3 and evaporated to dryness. The residual was recrystallized from methanol/chloroform to affoard light yellow prisms of (I).Yield: 76%; m.p. 364–365 K.

The H-atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl and x = 1.2 for aryl H-atoms.
In continuation of our syntheses of various chalcone derivatives containing the 2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl fragment (Asiri et al., 2010a,b,c), the title compound (I, Fig. 1) is now reported.
Recently we have reported the crystal structures of (II) i.e., (E)-1-(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Asiri et al., 2010a), (III) i.e., (2E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)prop- 2-en-1-one (Asiri et al., 2010b) and (IV) i.e., (E)-1-(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Asiri et al., 2010c) which contain the common moiety 2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl as in (I).
In (I), the group A (C1—C6/O1/C7) of 2-methoxyphenyl, the central propenone B (C8—C10/O2) and group C (C11—C16/S1) of 2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl are planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.0320, 0.0096 and 0.0103 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B, A/C and B/C is 8.55 (8), 23.47 (5) and 16.22 (8)°, respectively.
In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C—H···π interaction (Table 1), π···π interactions between the centroids of phenyl rings at a distance of 3.6418 (11) Å [symmetry code: - x, - y, 1 - z] and between the centroids of thiophen rings at a distance of 3.8727 (9) Å [symmetry code: 1/2 - x, 1/2 - y, 1 - z].

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

In continuation of our syntheses of various chalcone derivatives containing the 2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl fragment (Asiri et al., 2010a,b,c), the title compound (I, Fig. 1) is now reported.
Recently we have reported the crystal structures of (II) i.e., (E)-1-(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Asiri et al., 2010a), (III) i.e., (2E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)prop- 2-en-1-one (Asiri et al., 2010b) and (IV) i.e., (E)-1-(2,5-dimethyl-3-thienyl)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Asiri et al., 2010c) which contain the common moiety 2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl as in (I).
In (I), the group A (C1—C6/O1/C7) of 2-methoxyphenyl, the central propenone B (C8—C10/O2) and group C (C11—C16/S1) of 2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl are planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.0320, 0.0096 and 0.0103 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B, A/C and B/C is 8.55 (8), 23.47 (5) and 16.22 (8)°, respectively.
In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C—H···π interaction (Table 1), π···π interactions between the centroids of phenyl rings at a distance of 3.6418 (11) Å [symmetry code: - x, - y, 1 - z] and between the centroids of thiophen rings at a distance of 3.8727 (9) Å [symmetry code: 1/2 - x, 1/2 - y, 1 - z].
