The title 20H20O3·0.05C20H19ClO3, arises as the chloride carried over during the synthesis shares a position with an aromatic H atom; the partial occupancies are 0.947 (2) and 0.053 (2) for H and Cl, respectively. The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular C—H⋯O contacts, forming pseudo five- and six-membered rings with S(5) and S(6) graph-set motifs, respectively. The features π–π stacking interactions between the centroids of the central fused ring systems [centroid–centroid distance = 3.501 (2) Å].

(2E)-1-[2-Hydroxy-4-(2-methylpropoxy)phenyl]-3-(4-methylphenyl)prop-2-ene-1-one (0.01 mol) was dissolved in DMSO (30 ml) and iodine, in crystalline powder form, was added. The mixture was then heated at about 140–145 °C for 1 h and the reaction was monitored by continuous TLC. The resulting solution was cooled and diluted with water after the completion of reaction. Excess iodine was removed by filtering and washing the product with 20% aqueous sodium bisulphite. The crude product was then purified by
using toluene-ethyl acetate (10:1) as the mobile phase and a silica gel as the The melting point was measured on an Electro thermal 9200 apparatus and is uncorrected (Yield: 68%, M.pt: 442 K). The colourless block-shaped crystals of the title compound were obtained by re-crystallization from its ethanol solution.Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 to 0.98 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation with Uiso(H) set to 1.2–1.5Ueq(C). A reflection affected by the beam stop, i.e. (0 0 1), was omitted from the final refinement.Flavones can be considered as the derivatives of a parent compound 2-phenylchromen containing varying degrees of hydroxylation and methoxylation (Yao et al., 2004). Also, flavones and their derivatives at different oxidation level are well known naturally occurring oxygen-containing potent anti-oxidant
as they chelate ions, scavenge oxygen free radicals and prevent the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (Hollman et al., 1997). Both natural and synthetic flavones possess a wide spectrum of biological activities such as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, etc. (Prakash et al., 2009; Mota et al., 2009; Qin et al., 2008; Khan & Hasan, 2003). The continuous search for the synthesis of new derivatives in this group due to their medicinal importance (Harborne & Williams, 2000) is the main motivation for the study of title flavone molecule. In view of their importance, the title compound, 2-(4-methylphenyl)-7-(2-methylpropoxy)-4H-chromen-4-one (I) was synthesized and its studied.The molecular structure of (I), Fig. 1, consists of a central chromen ring extended by a toluene ring on one side and a propoxy moiety on other side. The bicyclic chromen ring is almost coplanar with C8, C12 and C13 atoms have maximum respective deviations of -0.205 (16), 0.0185 (16) and 0.158 (15) Å with respect to least square plane through it. The fractional chlorine atom remains in the molecule of (I) during the synthesis and its presence is confirmed during the structural π—π stacking interactions between symmetry related fused chromen rings (Cg1—Cg2 (2 - x, -y, 1 - z) = 3.501 (2) Å; Cg1 = C5—C10 and Cg2 = O3/C9/C8/C11—C13), Fig. 2.
as it shares a position with the aromatic hydrogen H19 atom; the partial occupancies are 0.947 (2) and 0.053 (2) for H19 and Cl1 atoms, respectively. In the absence of hydrogen bonds, the of (I) is stabilized by intramolecular short C—H···O contacts forming pseudo five- and six-membered rings of S(5) and S(6) graph-set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995), Table 1, and byFor background to flavones, see: Hollman et al.

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. |

Flavones can be considered as the derivatives of a parent compound 2-phenylchromen containing varying degrees of hydroxylation and methoxylation (Yao et al., 2004). Also, flavones and their derivatives at different oxidation level are well known naturally occurring oxygen-containing potent anti-oxidant heterocyclic compounds as they chelate ions, scavenge oxygen free radicals and prevent the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (Hollman et al., 1997). Both natural and synthetic flavones possess a wide spectrum of biological activities such as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, etc. (Prakash et al., 2009; Mota et al., 2009; Qin et al., 2008; Khan & Hasan, 2003). The continuous search for the synthesis of new derivatives in this group due to their medicinal importance (Harborne & Williams, 2000) is the main motivation for the study of title flavone molecule. In view of their importance, the title compound, 2-(4-methylphenyl)-7-(2-methylpropoxy)-4H-chromen-4-one (I) was synthesized and its crystal structure studied.
The molecular structure of (I), Fig. 1, consists of a central chromen ring extended by a toluene ring on one side and a propoxy moiety on other side. The bicyclic chromen ring is almost coplanar with C8, C12 and C13 atoms have maximum respective deviations of -0.205 (16), 0.0185 (16) and 0.158 (15) Å with respect to least square plane through it. The fractional chlorine atom remains in the molecule of (I) during the synthesis and its presence is confirmed during the structural refinement as it shares a position with the aromatic hydrogen H19 atom; the partial occupancies are 0.947 (2) and 0.053 (2) for H19 and Cl1 atoms, respectively. In the absence of hydrogen bonds, the crystal structure of (I) is stabilized by intramolecular short C—H···O contacts forming pseudo five- and six-membered rings of S(5) and S(6) graph-set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995), Table 1, and by π—π stacking interactions between symmetry related fused chromen rings (Cg1—Cg2 (2 - x, -y, 1 - z) = 3.501 (2) Å; Cg1 = C5—C10 and Cg2 = O3/C9/C8/C11—C13), Fig. 2.
