The title compound was prepared according to the procedure of Wang et al. (2009). A mixture of 1-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) ethanone (1.08 g, 5.0 mmol) and benzaldehyde (0.74 g, 7.0 mmol) in toluene (30 mL) in the presence of glacial acetic acid (0.08 mL, 1.4 mmol) and piperidine (0.08 mL, 1.4 mmol) as catalyst was refluxed. After the reaction was completed (monitored by TLC, petroleum ether/ethyl acetate, 3/1, V/V), the solvent was removed. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (30 mL) and washed with water (3x30 mL). The resulting phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure and then purified by silica gel
eluting with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (10/1-2/1, V/V) to give the title compound (I) (0.923 g) as solid. Mp.396-397K. A crystal of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis was grown from a mixed solution of ethyl acetate and petroleum ether by slow evaporation at room temperature.H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93Å (aromatic) and 0.96Å (methyl). The Uiso(H) values were set equal to 1.2Ueq(Caromatic) and 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl). The H atom bonded to C9 was refined independently with an isotropic displacement paramemeter.

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. |

Chalcones are an important type of biologically active compounds with a diaryl enone structural unit. Triazole compounds exhibit a broad bioactive spectrum (Zhou & Wang, 2012). Our interest is to develop novel triazole-derived chalcones as medicinal agents. Examples of related structures of triazolylchalcones have been reported (Wang et al., 2009; Yan et al., 2009). Herein, the crystal structure of the title compound (I) is reported.
In the molecular structure of (I) (Fig. 1) the triazole and benzene rings adopt a Z configuration with respect to the C═C bond. The phenyl (C3-C8) and benzene (C12-C17) rings form dihedral angles of 66.20 (9) and 14.36 (9)°, respectively with the triazole ring (N1-N3/C1/C2). The dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 52.64 (8)Å.
