In the title compound, C15H13ClO3S, the chlorothiophene and dimethoxyphenyl groups are linked by a prop-2-en-1-one group. The C=C double bond exhibits an E conformation. The molecule is non-planar, with a dihedral angle of 31.12 (5)° between the chlorothiophene and dimethoxyphenyl rings. The methoxy group at position 3 is coplanar with the benzene ring to which it is attached, with a C—O—C—C torsion angle of −3.8 (3)°. The methoxy group attached at position 2 of the benzene ring is in a (+)synclinal conformation, as indicated by the C—O—C—C torsion angle of −73.6 (2)°. In the crystal, two different C—H⋯O intermolecular interactions generate chains of molecules extending along the b axis.

To synthesizethe the title compound, 2-acetyl-5-chlorothiophene (0.01 mol) and 2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (0.01 mol) were dissolved in methanol (60 ml). Sodium hydroxide (5 ml, 20%) was then added drop wise to the solution, and it was stirred for 2 h. The contents of the flask were poured into ice-cold water, and the resulting crude solid was collected by filtration. The compound was dried and re-crystallized twice from acetone.
The H atoms were placed at calculated positions in the riding model approximation with C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å, for aryl and methyl H-atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 and 1.5Ueq(C).
Chalcones represent one of the most abundant and ubiquitous group of natural products (Tomazela, et al., 2000). In the past few years, they have been shown to possess interesting biological properties and synthetic intermediates (Choudary, et al., 1999). In the title compound (Fig. 1), the chlorothiophene and dimethoxyphenyl groups are linked by a prop-2-en-1-one group. The chlorothiophene and dimethoxyphenyl rings are non-planar with the dihedral angle 31.12 (5)°. The torsion angle C15–O3–C12–C11 is 3.7 (3)° indicating that the O3 methoxy group is coplanar with the attached benzene ring. The other methoxy group at O2 is in a + synclinal conformation as indicated by the torsion angle 73.6 (2)° for C14–O2–C13–C12. The C═C double bond exhibits an E conformation (Benmekhbi, et al., 2009). The is stabilized by two different C—H···O intermolecular interactions generating chains of molecules along the b-axis (Fig. 2).

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 represent one of the most abundant and ubiquitous group of natural products (Tomazela, et al., 2000). In the past few years, they have been shown to possess interesting biological properties and synthetic intermediates (Choudary, et al., 1999). In the title compound (Fig. 1), the chlorothiophene and dimethoxyphenyl groups are linked by a prop-2-en-1-one group. The chlorothiophene and dimethoxyphenyl rings are non-planar with the dihedral angle 31.12 (5)°. The torsion angle C15–O3–C12–C11 is 3.7 (3)° indicating that the O3 methoxy group is coplanar with the attached benzene ring. The other methoxy group at O2 is in a + synclinal conformation as indicated by the torsion angle 73.6 (2)° for C14–O2–C13–C12. The C═C double bond exhibits an E conformation (Benmekhbi, et al., 2009). The crystal structure is stabilized by two different C—H···O intermolecular interactions generating chains of molecules along the b-axis (Fig. 2).
