In the title compound, C21H20O4, the central heptatrienone unit is approximately planar, with a maximum atomic deviation of 0.1121 (11) Å; the two benzene rings are twisted with respect to the heptatrienone mean plane by 2.73 (5) and 29.31 (4)°. The molecule exists in the enol form and the hydroxy group forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the neighboring carbonyl group. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.

In a dry three-necked flask, 1.03 ml acetylacetone (10 mmol) and 0.488 g boron oxide (3.5 mmol) were dissolved in 10 ml e thyl acetate and heated to 75°C for 1 h. Methoxybenzaldehyde (2.84 ml, 20 mmol) and tributylborate (4.8 ml, 20 mmol) were mixed with 10 ml e thyl acetate, stirred for 45 min and then added to the solution.
The mixture was heated to 100°C for 1 h, then n-butylamine (1.54 ml, 15 mmol) dissolved in 15 ml e thyl acetate was added dropwise over a period of 90 min. The reaction was stirred for 18 h at 85°C, cooled to 60°C, then 4M HCl solution (5 ml) was added and the mixture stirred at 60°C for 1 h.
The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, the organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 100 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with 100 ml of brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo.
The crude compound was purified by flash
using 4% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to give the title compound as a yellow solid (0.35 g, 5%). Single crystals suitable for X-ray data collection were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethyl acetate:petroleum ether (2:8) solution.H atoms were placed in calculated positions with O—H = 0.82, C—H = 0.93 to 0.96 Å, and were refined in a riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms and 1.5Ueq(C,O) for the others.

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. |

The title compound is a derivative of curcumin. The curcumin and its derivatives have potent applications in the medicine field (Reddy & Lokesh, 1992; Sreejayan Rao, 1997; Narlawar et al., 2008; Qiu et al., 2010). We synthesized non-natural curcumin analogs in order to increase the NF-κB inhibitory activity and reduce the cell toxicity.
The molecular structure of the compound is showing in Fig. 1. The bond lengths indicate the electron delocalization in the molecular structure. The central heptatrienone unit is approximately planar with the maximum atomic deviation of -0.1121 (11) Å; the two benzene rings are twisted with respect to the heptatrienone mean plane at 2.73 (5) and 29.31 (4)°, respectively. In the solution, curcumin and its non-natural analogs exist as ketol-enol tautomeric forms (Gunasekaran et al., 2008). In the crystal, the title compound exists as an enol form, the hydroxy group forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond to the neighboring carbonyl group.
Weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure (Table 1).
