The overall shape of the molecule of the title compound, C17H15BrO2, can be described by the dihedral angles between three planar fragments: 1-bromo-2-methoxyphenyl ring [maximum deviation = 0.003 (2) Å], the central prop-2-en-1-one chain [maximum deviation = 0.005 (2) Å], and the methylphenyl ring [maximum deviation = 0.004 (2) Å]. The terminal planes are twisted by 10.37 (12)°, while the central plane is almost coplanar with the methylphenyl ring [3.30 (13)°], but the dihedral angle with the other phenyl ring is significantly larger [8.76 (16)°]. In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains along [001] by three C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These chains interact with each other by means of weak π–π contacts [centroid–centroid distances = 3.73 (1) and 3.44 (1) Å]. An intermolecular C—H⋯Br interaction also occurs.

3-Bromo-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (2.15 g, 0.01 mol) was mixed with 1-(4-methylphenyl) ethanone (1.34 g, 0.01 mol) and dissolved in ethanol (40 ml). To the solution, 4 ml of KOH (50%) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 6–10 h. The resulting crude solid was filtered, washed successively with distilled water and finally recrystallized from ethanol (95%) to give the pure

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

Chalcone (1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one) derivatives and their heterocyclic analogues are valuable intermediates in organic synthesis and exhibit a wide range of biological activities, as well as non-linear optical properties with excellent blue light transmittance and good crystallizability. As a part of our ongoing studies in the chalcone structural chemistry we have synthesized a new chalcone (2E)-3-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (I, Scheme 1). The packing of the molecules in crystals is a result of the compromise between different intermolecular interactions, tendency towards close packing, symmetry requirements etc. Therefore, studying of the crystal packing might be useful in the understanding of different intermolecular interactions. In the absence of potential good hydrogen bond donors - as it is the case of the molecule described here - the crystal structure might be determined by other interactions and requirements: close packing, van der Waals interactions, weak hydrogen bonds (C—H···O, Br, or π), halogen bonds - as there are both C—Br and C═O groups available, π···π stacking etc.
The overall shape of the molecule can be described by the dihedral angles between three planar fragments (cf. Fig. 1): 1-bromo-2-methoxyphenyl ring (A), the central prop-2-en-1-one chain (B), and 4-methylphenyl ring (C). The terminal planes A and C are twisted by 10.37 (12)°, while the central plane B is almost coplanar with C (3.30 (13)°), and the dihedral angle with A is significantly larger, 8.76 (16)°. The similar molecules found in the Cambridge Crystallographic Database (Allen, 2002) differ significantly in their conformations, thus suggesting that it depends mostly on the intermolecular interactions. For instance - limiting to similar pattern of substitution - in 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (Butcher et al., 2006) A/C dihedral angle is 47.81 (6)° and 50.18 (5)° in two symmety independent molecules, while in 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (Ng et al., 2006) there are also two symmetry-independent molecules, but there are almost planar, the dihedral angles between the phenyl rings are 9.30 (15)° and 4.85 (16)°. Again in 3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one (Zhou, 2010) the twist is significant, 48.13 (4)°.
In the structure of I quite a rich structure of weak interactions can be found. The molecules are connected into chains along [0 0 1] direction by means of three C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2). These chains are interacting with the other ones by means of weak π···π contacts. The centroid-to-centroid distances are CgA···CgA 3.729Å and CgB···CgB 3.748Å, which - taking into account the slippage - translates into the interplanar distances of ca. 3.52Å for A···A contacts and 3.44Å for B···B ones (Fig. 3).
