In the title compound, C17H16O4, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings is 5.9 (6)°. The mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group makes dihedral angles of 3.6 (0) and 2.6 (7)° with the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings, respectively. An intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O contacts and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6571 (8) Å].

2-Hydroxyacetophenone (1.36 g, 0.01 mol) was mixed with 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (1.66 g, 0.01 mol) and dissolved in ethanol (40 ml) (Fig. 1). To this solution, 5 mL of KOH (50%) was added at 278 K. The reaction mixture stirred overnight at room temperature and poured on to crushed ice. The pH of this mixture was adjusted to 3–4 with 2 M HCl aqueous solution. The resulting crude solid was filtered, washed successively with dilute HCl solution and distilled water and finally recrystallized from ethanol (95%) to give the pure chalcone. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were grown by the slow evaporation of the solution of the compound in ethyl alcohol (m.p.: 378–381 K). Composition: Found (Calculated) for C17H16O4, C 75.25 (75.28); H: 5.98 (5.92).
The hydroxyl hydrogem (H1A) was located by a Fourier map, fixed at 0.82 Å and refined using the riding model. All of the remaining H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with Atom—H lengths of 0.93Å (CH), 0.96Å (CH3). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.19–1.20 (CH), 1.49 (CH3) or 1.49 (OH) times Ueq of the parent atom.

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. |

In continuation to our studies on crystal structures of chalcones (Jasinski et al., 2010, 2011a, 2011b), we report here the synthesis (Fig. 1) and crystal structure of a new chalcone, C17H16O4, (I). The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings is 5.9 (6)° (Fig. 2). The mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group, the active site in this molecule, makes angles of 3.6 (0)° and 2.6 (7)°, respectively, with the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings. Bond lengths and angles are normal (Allen et al., 1987) and corespond to those observed in related compounds (Butcher et al., 2006; Cao et al., 2005; Harrison et al., 2007; Jasinski et al., 2010, 2011a, 2011b; Ngaini et al., 2009; Radha Krishna et al., 2005; Sharma et al., 1997; Wu et al., 2005). Crystal packing is stabilized by O—H···O intramolecular hydrogen bonds, weak C—H···O intermolecular (Table 1) and π—π stacking interactions (Table 2, Fig. 3).
