In the title compound, C19H12F6O, a monoketone derivative of curcumin, both double bonds have a trans conformation. The molecule is mostly planar with all C and O atoms essentially coplanar, with the exception of one benzene ring, which is tilted by 17.18 (1)° with respect to the plane of the remainder of the molecule. The r.m.s. deviation from planarity of the coplanar section is 0.0097 Å. The crystal packing features weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F interactions.

The title compound, 1,5-bis(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one was synthesized by a modified procedure of Tully et al. (2001) using the milder base ammonium acetate instead of sodium hydroxide and a better yield (86%) was obtained. 20 mmol of 2-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde (2.634 ml), 15 mmol of acetone (1.11 ml) and 1 g of ammonium acetate were combined in one-pot and stirred gently in ethanol as the solvent (20 ml). The complete consumption of the starting materials was monitored by TLC. After completion, the reaction mass was filtered, washed with cold ethanol and dried. The compound was characterized by melting point, IR and NMR. The analytical and spectral data are as reported previously (Tully et al., 2001). X-ray diffraction quality crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.
All hydrogen atoms were fixed geometrically and allowed to ride on the parent carbon atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

The title compound is a bischalcone, and is a monoketone derivative of curcumin. Curcumin is a naturally abundant beta-diketone derived from the rizome of curcuma longa (Buescher & Yang, 2000). Numerous studies have shown that curcumin possesses multiple pharmacological properties. Several clinical trials of curcumin were carried out in patients with pancreatic cancer, multiple myeloma, rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, and other disorders (Kumar et al., 2003; Hsu & Cheng, 2007). Since the stereochemistry of the synthesized molecule is an important criterion for its biological actions, it is of of desirable to establish the structure of the synthesized molecule.
Crystalline chalcone derivatives are also of interest due to their their second harmonic generation properties, particularly, their often are good blue light emitters. The NLO properties of the molecules are also associated with their molecular geometry (Fichou et al., 1988; Butcher et al., 2006), and accordingly, a single-crystal XRD study of the title bischalcone was undertaken to obtain detailed information on its molecular conformation.
In the title compound, C19H12F6O, both double bonds have trans configuration. The molecule is mostly planar with all carbon and oxygen atoms coplanar with the exception of one phenyl ring (C1—C6), which is tilted by 17.18 (1)° against the plane of the remainder of the molecule. The root mean square deviation from planarity of the coplanar section Ph—C=C—C(O)—C=C (C8—C18) is 0.0097 Å.
The bond lengths of the conjugated chalcone backbone C5—C13 [C5–C8 = 1.460 (4), C8–C9 = 1.322 (4), C9–C10 = 1.460 (4), C10–C11 = 1.470 (4), C11–C12 = 1.311 (4) and C12–C13 = 1.456 Å] show alternate localized single and double bonds as in its ortho-chloro analog (Nizam Mohideen et al., 2007). This indicates the absence of delocalization of the double bonds in the chalcone skeleton C5—C13.
The crystal packing of this molecule is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H···O, C—H···F and C—H···π interactions (Table 1).
