The title compound [systematic name: (E)-1-(2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one], C17H16O4, has an aromatic ring at both ends of the –CH= CH–C(=O)– fragment with the –CH=CH– bond in a trans configuration. The phenyl ring is nearly coplanar with this fragment [dihedral angle 4.8 (3) °] as is the hydroxyldimethoxylphenyl unit [dihedral angle 6.3 (3) °]. The hydroxy group is the donor in an intramolecular hydrogen bond to the double-bonded O atom.

The rhizome of Alpinia mutica was collected from Pontian, Johor, Malaysia. A voucher specimen was deposited at the Herbarium of the Departmentof Botany, Universiti Putra Malaysia. The n-hexane crude extract of the rhizome (8.97 g) was subjected to silica-gel
and was eluted out by using a gradient mixture of petroleum ether, ethanol and methanol. Twenty three fractions were collected, which were then separated by TLC to afford eight fractions. The sixth fraction was subjected to silica-gel to give the title compound (petroleum ether: ether 4/1)which was recrystallized from petroleum ether/ether to afford faint yellow-orange crystals suitable for data collection.Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95–0.98 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–15U(C).The hydroxy H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was refined with the O–H distance restrained to 0.84±0.01 Å; its temperature factor was refined.
In the absence of heavy atom, Some 976 Friedel pairs were merged.
Alpinia mutica is a perennial herb (Zingiberaceae) endemic to southern parts of Malaysia. It is also cultivated as an ornamental plant and the rhizomes are used as an herb for strengthening the stomach. Among the compounds isolated this herb is Flavokavain B, whose structure was elucidated by spectrospic methods (Flores et al., 2007; Xuan et al., 2008) and whose x-ray structure is reported here. The chalcone (Scheme I) has aromatic rings at either ends of the –CH═ CH–C(═O)– linkage; the -CH=CH- double bond has a trans configuration. The phenyl ring is nearly coplanar with this fragment [dihedral angle 4.8 (3) °] as is the hydroxyldimethoxylphenyl ring [dihderal angle 6.3 (3) ° (the dihedral angle between the two rings is 10.0 (2)°) (Fig. 1). The hydroxy group is donor in an intra-molecular H-bond bond with the double-bond oxygen atom of the fragment. Other than a close contact of 3.04 Å between O2 and C16, there are no important intermolecular contacts (Fig. 2).
The compound has been previously isolated and characterized by NMR spectroscopy (Flores et al., 2007; Xuan et al., 2008).

Alpinia mutica is a perennial herb (Zingiberaceae) endemic to southern parts of Malaysia. It is also cultivated as an ornamental plant and the rhizomes are used as an herb for strengthening the stomach. Among the compounds isolated this herb is Flavokavain B, whose structure was elucidated by spectrospic methods (Flores et al., 2007; Xuan et al., 2008) and whose x-ray structure is reported here. The chalcone (Scheme I) has aromatic rings at either ends of the –CH═ CH–C(═O)– linkage; the -CH=CH- double bond has a trans configuration. The phenyl ring is nearly coplanar with this fragment [dihedral angle 4.8 (3) °] as is the hydroxyldimethoxylphenyl ring [dihderal angle 6.3 (3) ° (the dihedral angle between the two rings is 10.0 (2)°) (Fig. 1). The hydroxy group is donor in an intra-molecular H-bond bond with the double-bond oxygen atom of the fragment. Other than a close contact of 3.04 Å between O2 and C16, there are no important intermolecular contacts (Fig. 2).
The compound has been previously isolated and characterized by NMR spectroscopy (Flores et al., 2007; Xuan et al., 2008).
