4-Methylthiobenzaldehyde (0.1mol) and 3,4-dimethoxyacetophenone (0.1mol) in the presence of NaOH in ethanol were stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The resulting product was filtered, washed, dried and recrystallised from ethanol.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq(carrier atom) for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq(carrier atom) for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups. 2109 Freidel pairs were used to determine the absolute structure.

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. |

Chalcones are condensation products of simple or substituted aromatic aldehydes with simple or substituted acetophenones in the presence of alkali. Chalcones constitute an important group of natural products and some of them possess a wide range of biological activities such as antimicrobial (Rajendra Prasad et al., 2008), anticancer (Won et al., 2005), antitubercular (Sivakumar et al., 2007) and antiviral (Churkin et al., 1982) properties. The crystal structures of (2E)-1-(2-thienyl)-3-(2,3,5-trichlorophenyl)prop-2-ene-1-one (Narayana et al., 2007) and (E)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1- (2,3,4-trichlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (Fun et al., 2011) have been reported.
As shown in Fig. 1, the C8═C9 double bond exists in an E configuration with an O1—C7—C8—C9 torsion angle of -1.3 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the two benzene (C1–C6 and C10–C15) rings is 11.74 (8)°. The torsion angles C18—S1—C13—C14, C17—O3—C3—C4 and C16—O2—C2—C1 are 4.19 (8), -5.0 (2) and 7.8 (2)°, respectively, showing that the methylthio and methoxy substituents are essentially coplanar with the attached benzene rings.
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by C16—H16B···O1 and C17—H17A···O3 hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is also stabilized by a weak C—H···π interaction (Table 1), with a distance of 3.5776 (17) Å.
