The title compound, C19H20O5, has been prepared by the aldol Claisen-Schmidt condensation (Hathaway, 1987; Bandgar et al., 2009) by the reaction of a mixture of 4-methoxy-acetophenone (0,3 mg; 2 mmol) and 3,4,5-trimethoxy-benzaldehyde (0,39 mg; 2 mmol) and NaOH (50% p/v) at 257 K for 24 h. The light yellow solid (m.p. 404.25 - 405.65 K) thus obtained was filtered, washed with water and dried. Crystals of suitable quality for single crystal X-ray diffraction were grown in methanol.
The
P21/c was uniquely assigned from the All the H-atoms were placed in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms [Caro—H = 0.93 Å and Csp3—H = 0.96 Å), with a displacement parameter Uiso set equal to 1.2 times Ueq that of the parent atom, and Csp3 and aromatic H.Data collection: COLLECT (Hooft, 1998); cell

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 > 2σ(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 a medicinally important class of compounds and are known for possessing various biological activities such as antibacterial, antiviral, anthelmintic, amoebicidal, antiulcer, insecticidal, antiprotozoal, anticancer, cytotoxic, immunosuppressive activities and other bioactivities (Dhar, 1981; Dimmock et al., 1999). Recently, some chalcones were approved for therapeutical use, such as methoxychalcone (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(2,4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one, marketed in France and Italy, with choleretic and hepatoprotective activities (Ni et al., 2004). Moreover, a literature survey showed dimethoxy and trimethoxychalcone derivatives as effective anti-inflammatory agents (Bandgar et al., 2010).
The (E)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is a methoxychalcone which the structure shows two aromatic rings linked by prop-2-en-1-one group. The refined molecular structure is shown in Fig. 1. Due to p-π conjugation, the Csp2—O bonds [O2—C7 = 1.2249 (2) Å] are significantly shorter than the Csp3—O bonds [O1—C19 = 1.4240 (2) Å; O3—C18 = 1.415 (2) Å; O4—C17 = 1.413 (2) Å and O5—C16 = 1.4294 (2) Å]. The methoxy substituted groups around the benzene rings are almost planar and the dihedral angles C5—C6—C7—C8, C6—C7—C8—C9, C7—C8—C9—C10 and C8—C9—C10—C11 are -23.0 (2)°, 169.3 (2)°, 177.7 (2)° and -4.4 (2)°, respectively, indicating the molecule has a non-planar conformation.
The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H···O contacts (Table 1). There is intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving C9 acting as H-bond donor, via H9, to O2 in the adjacent molecules at -x+1, -y+1, -z resulting in a dimer.
