To a solution of 222 mg (1 mmol) (2E)-3-(4-methylphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one in 40 ml e thanol, 100 mg of acetyl acetone was added in presence of 60 mg MeONa. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 7 h then cooled to room temperature (Diao & Stahl, 2011; González et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2008). The excess solvent was removed under vacuum to afford the solid product which was filltered off and recrystallized from ethanol. The obtained crystals were in good quality (m.p. 343 K) for X-ray diffraction without further crystallization.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.95–1.00 Å) and refined by using a riding model, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups)Ueq(C).
α,β-Unsaturated have shown various biological activities such as antioxidant (Suksamrarn et al., 2003), antitumor (Kumar et al., 2003), anticancer (Modzelewska et al., 2006) and antimalarial (Ferrer et al., 2009). In addition, also were widely used in cosmetic compositions (Forestier et al., 1989; Podraze, 1991) and applications of dyes (Asiri, 2003). Apart from being biologically important compounds, chalcone derivatives show non-linear optical (NLO) properties with excellent blue light transmittance and good crystallizability (Shettigar et al., 2006). In this context, herein we report the synthesis and of the title compound (I).
As seen in Fig. 1, the title compound is not planar. The C1–C6 cyclohexene ring in (I) has a nearly θ = 53.4 (3) ° and φ = 247.6 (4) °]. The C7–C12 phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 85.93 (11)° with the methyl-substituted C13 C18 benzene ring.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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. |

α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds have shown various biological activities such as antioxidant (Suksamrarn et al., 2003), antitumor (Kumar et al., 2003), anticancer (Modzelewska et al., 2006) and antimalarial (Ferrer et al., 2009). In addition, chalcones also were widely used in cosmetic compositions (Forestier et al., 1989; Podraze, 1991) and applications of dyes (Asiri, 2003). Apart from being biologically important compounds, chalcone derivatives show non-linear optical (NLO) properties with excellent blue light transmittance and good crystallizability (Shettigar et al., 2006). In this context, herein we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound (I).
As seen in Fig. 1, the title compound is not planar. The C1–C6 cyclohexene ring in (I) has a nearly envelope conformation [puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) QT = 0.511 (3) Å, θ = 53.4 (3) ° and φ = 247.6 (4) °]. The C7–C12 phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 85.93 (11)° with the methyl-substituted C13 C18 benzene ring.
The crystal packing of (I) is stabilized by van der Waals forces and weak C—H···π interactions (Table 1, Fig. 2).
