The title molecule, C16H16O5, is twisted; the dihedral angle between the furan and 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl rings is 12.14 (13)°. The two methoxy groups at the meta positions of the benzene ring are close to being coplanar with the ring [C—O—C—C = −0.6 (3) and 1.4 (3)°], whereas the third methoxy group, at the para position, is (+)-anticlinal with respect to the benzene ring [C—O—C—C = 104.9 (2)°]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O bonds to stack along the b axis and further C—H⋯O interactions consolidate the structure.

The title compound was synthesized by the condensation of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde (0.39 g, 2 mmol) in ethanol (15 ml) with 2-furyl methylketone (0.22 g, 2 mmol) in ethanol (15 ml) in the presence of 20% NaOH(aq) (5 ml). After stirring for 4 h, the resulting pale yellow solid appeared and was then collected by filtration, washed with distilled water and dried (69% yield). Pale yellow blocks of (III) were recrystalized from acetone/methanol (1:1 v/v) by the slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature after several days, Mp. 420–421 K.
All H atoms were located in difference maps and refined isotropically. The highest residual electron density peak is located at 0.89 Å from C2 and the deepest hole is located at 0.70 Å from O2. A total of 1892 Friedel pairs were merged before final refinement.
Chalcones are known to exhibit bioactivity including antimicrobial (Prasad et al., 2008), antifungal (Batovska et al., 2007), anticancer (Saxena et al., 2007) and HIV-1 protease inhibitory (Tewtrakul et al., 2003), as well as Non Linear Optical (NLO) (Gu et al., 2009) and fluorescence properties (Jung et al., 2008). In our on-going research on antibacterial activities, NLO and fluorescence properties of aryl/heteroaryl
we previously reported the crystal structures of (E)-1-(2-furyl)-3-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (I) (Fun et al., 2010) and (E)-1-(2-thienyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (II) (Suwunwong et al., 2009). The title compound (III) was synthesized and its was determined in order to gain structural details to explain the affects of the substituent groups and their positions on the fluorescence properties and how their crystal packing would affect the NLO properties of the compounds. Compound (I) crystallized out in the centrosymmetric C2/c which prohibits second order NLO properties whereas compounds (II) and (III) crystallized in non-centrosymmetric Pna21 and should possess the second order NLO properties.The molecule of the title heteroaryl chalcone (Fig. 1) exists in an E configuration with respect to the C6═C7 double bond [1.340 (3) Å] with torsion angle C5–C6–C7–C8 = 174.83 (19)°. The molecule is twisted with the dihedral angle between the furan and 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl rings being 12.14 (13)°. The propenone unit (C5—C7/O1) is slightly deviated with the torsion angle O1–C5–C6–C7 = 8.0 (3)°. The three methoxy groups of the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl unit have two different orientations: the two methoxy groups at the meta positions (at atom C10 and C12 positions) are co-planar with the attached benzene ring with torsion angles C14–O3–C10–C9 = -0.6 (3)° and C16–O5–C12–C13 = 1.4 (3)° whereas the third one at para position (at atom C11) is (+)-anti-clinally attached with the torsion angle C15–O4–C11—C10 = 104.9 (2)°. Otherwise, the bond distances in (III) are of normal values (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with the closely related structures (Fun et al., 2010; Suwunwong et al., 2009).
In the crystal (Fig. 2), the molecules are stacked into columns along the b axis and molecules within the stacks are linked by weak C15—H15B···O4 (Table 1) interactions.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 120.0 (1) K. |
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 are known to exhibit bioactivity including antimicrobial (Prasad et al., 2008), antifungal (Batovska et al., 2007), anticancer (Saxena et al., 2007) and HIV-1 protease inhibitory (Tewtrakul et al., 2003), as well as Non Linear Optical (NLO) (Gu et al., 2009) and fluorescence properties (Jung et al., 2008). In our on-going research on antibacterial activities, NLO and fluorescence properties of aryl/heteroaryl chalcones, we previously reported the crystal structures of (E)-1-(2-furyl)-3-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (I) (Fun et al., 2010) and (E)-1-(2-thienyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (II) (Suwunwong et al., 2009). The title compound (III) was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined in order to gain structural details to explain the affects of the substituent groups and their positions on the fluorescence properties and how their crystal packing would affect the NLO properties of the compounds. Compound (I) crystallized out in the centrosymmetric C2/c space group which prohibits second order NLO properties whereas compounds (II) and (III) crystallized in non-centrosymmetric Pna21 space group and should possess the second order NLO properties.
The molecule of the title heteroaryl chalcone (Fig. 1) exists in an E configuration with respect to the C6═C7 double bond [1.340 (3) Å] with torsion angle C5–C6–C7–C8 = 174.83 (19)°. The molecule is twisted with the dihedral angle between the furan and 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl rings being 12.14 (13)°. The propenone unit (C5—C7/O1) is slightly deviated with the torsion angle O1–C5–C6–C7 = 8.0 (3)°. The three methoxy groups of the 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl unit have two different orientations: the two methoxy groups at the meta positions (at atom C10 and C12 positions) are co-planar with the attached benzene ring with torsion angles C14–O3–C10–C9 = -0.6 (3)° and C16–O5–C12–C13 = 1.4 (3)° whereas the third one at para position (at atom C11) is (+)-anti-clinally attached with the torsion angle C15–O4–C11—C10 = 104.9 (2)°. Otherwise, the bond distances in (III) are of normal values (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with the closely related structures (Fun et al., 2010; Suwunwong et al., 2009).
In the crystal (Fig. 2), the molecules are stacked into columns along the b axis and molecules within the stacks are linked by weak C15—H15B···O4 (Table 1) interactions.
