The title compound was synthesized using a general procedure (Du et al.,2006; Youssef et al., 2004) 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (0.01 mol) and tetrahydropyran-4-one (0.005 mol) were dissolved in THF and added 0.5 mL concentrated HCl as catalyst. The mixture was warmed at 298-303 K for 12 h, cold water was added to precipitate the yellow compound. Crystals were obtained by recrystallization from THF. The formulation was established by the NMR spectrum and ESI δ (ppm): 10.03 (brs, 2H, -COH), 7.55 (s, 2H, -CCH=), 7.28 (d, J = 8.1, 4H, ArH), 6.85 (d, J = 8.1, ArH), 4.85 (s, 4H, -CCH2-O-CCH2-C). The ESI showed ions at 308.
1H NMR (MSDO-d6, 300 MHz)The C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically and were included in the
in the riding-model approximation, with distances 0.96 (CH3), 0.97 (CH2) and 0.95 Å (aromatic); Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for H atoms on secondary and tertiary C atoms, and Uiso = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. The two water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and then refined as riding on the water O atom with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).For thousands of years Eastern medicine has used curcumin, the major component of turmeric, for a wide range of health benefits, but only in recent times has its biological action been understood. Curcumin possesses a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, cancer chemo preventive, cancer chemotherapeutic properties (Maheshwari et al., 2006). As the limitation of solubility, stability and activity of curcumin for clinical application, many series of curcumin analoges with a monoketone function have attracted interests in trial of improving the properties (Liang et al., 2009). This class of compounds is readily synthesized by reacting a substituted benzaldehyde with tetrahydropyran-4-one; in the case of the title compound 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde was used as the reactant.
The compound was purified by re-crystallization from THF and characterized by NMR spectrum and ESI
The analytical and spectroscopic data are consistent with the proposed structure given in Scheme 1. The molecular structure of the title compound contains the two 4-methylbenzyl substituents on the tetrahydropyran-4-one and the six-member ring adopts an with the flap oxygen atom displaced by 0.648 (8) Å from the plane of the other five atoms (Figure 1).Similar structures have been observed in the literature (Abaee et al., 2008; Du et al.,2006).
The dihedral angles formed between the mean plane through the six atoms of the pyranone ring and two benzene rings of 4-methylbenzyl groups are 26.69 (9) and 36.01 (9)°, the corresponding dihedral angles between two benzene rings of 4-methylbenzyl groups is 20.88 (10) °.
In the crystal packing, intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Figure 2, table 1) connect the molecules into a supramolecular three-dimensional two-fold interpenetrating hydrogen bonding network (Figure 3).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

For thousands of years Eastern medicine has used curcumin, the major component of turmeric, for a wide range of health benefits, but only in recent times has its biological action been understood. Curcumin possesses a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, cancer chemo preventive, cancer chemotherapeutic properties (Maheshwari et al., 2006). As the limitation of solubility, stability and activity of curcumin for clinical application, many series of curcumin analoges with a monoketone function have attracted interests in trial of improving the properties (Liang et al., 2009). This class of compounds is readily synthesized by reacting a substituted benzaldehyde with tetrahydropyran-4-one; in the case of the title compound 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde was used as the reactant.
The compound was purified by re-crystallization from THF and characterized by NMR spectrum and ESI mass spectrum. The analytical and spectroscopic data are consistent with the proposed structure given in Scheme 1. The molecular structure of the title compound contains the two 4-methylbenzyl substituents on the tetrahydropyran-4-one and the six-member ring adopts an envelope conformation with the flap oxygen atom displaced by 0.648 (8) Å from the plane of the other five atoms (Figure 1).
Similar structures have been observed in the literature (Abaee et al., 2008; Du et al.,2006).
The dihedral angles formed between the mean plane through the six atoms of the pyranone ring and two benzene rings of 4-methylbenzyl groups are 26.69 (9) and 36.01 (9)°, the corresponding dihedral angles between two benzene rings of 4-methylbenzyl groups is 20.88 (10) °.
In the crystal packing, intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Figure 2, table 1) connect the molecules into a supramolecular three-dimensional two-fold interpenetrating hydrogen bonding network (Figure 3).
