The equimolar reaction between 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde and 2-acetylthiophene in basic ethanolic solution yields the title compound, C15H15NOS, whose molecular structure matches the The molecule is not planar, the dihedral angle between the aromatic and the thiophene rings being 11.4 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯S interactions along [100], forming R22(8) rings, and by weak C—H⋯O interactions along [010], forming chains with a C(6) graph-set motif. In addition, molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers by weak C—H⋯π interactions, as indicated by the Hirshfeld surface analysis. The most important contributions for the are the H⋯H (46.50%) and H⋯C (23.40%) interactions. The crystal packing resembles a herringbone arrangement when viewed along [100]. A molecular docking calculation of the title compound with the neuraminidase enzyme was carried out. The enzyme shows (ASN263)N—H⋯O, (PRO245)C—H⋯Cg(thiophene ring) and (AGR287)C—H⋯N intermolecular interactions with the title compound.

1. Chemical context
Chalcone derivatives are compounds with an aromatic conjugated enone as the main fragment and are synthesized by hydroxide-catalysed aldol condensation between an aromatic aldehyde and a ketone. Some of the first preparative methods of the aldol condensation were reported in the second half of the 19th Century (Claisen & Claparède, 1881; Schmidt, 1881) and the experimental procedure remains the same to the present time. Chalcone compounds can be obtained from a great number of starting materials, resulting in a class of compounds with a wide range of properties and applications, specially in the medicinal chemistry. Several 4-dialkylaminochalcones have shown antiproliferative activity on cancer cell lines and one method to monitor the chalcone–protein interaction, e.g. tubulin proteins, is the fluorescence (Zhou et al., 2016). Another example of the pharmacological background for the title compound and its derivatives is the anti-influenza viral activity through the neuraminidase enzymatic inhibition in vitro (Kinger et al., 2012). Thus, the determination of chalcone-based molecules is an intensive research area, in particular for its contributions in medicinal chemistry. As part of our studies in this field, we describe herein the the Hirshfeld surface analysis and the molecular docking evaluation of the title compound.
2. Structural commentary
In the ). The molecule is not planar: the r.m.s deviations from the mean plane of the non–H atoms range from −0.158 (3) Å for C3 to 0.1318 (15) Å for S1 and the dihedral angle between the benzene and thiophene rings amounts to 11.4 (2)°. In addition, the plane through the amino group atoms (C7/C8/N1) is rotated by 9.7 (6)° with respect to the plane of the aromatic ring. Finally, the molecule shows the E configuration about the C9—C10 bond.
of the title compound, a chalcone-thiophene derivative, the contains one crystallographically independent molecule (Fig. 13. Supramolecular features
In the crystal, the molecules are connected by very weak C13—H13⋯O1i and C14—H14⋯S1i hydrogen-bonding interactions (see Table 1 for symmetry codes), forming rings with an R22(8) graph-set motif. The R22(8) rings are the subunits of the periodic arrangement along [100] and one very weak H7⋯H2i contact is also observed [H⋯H = 2.26 Å]. The molecular units are also linked by very weak C15—H15⋯O1ii links into chains along [010] with a C(6) graph-set motif (Fig. 2; Table 1). Additionally, the molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers by very weak C—H⋯π interactions involving the thiophene ring (Fig. 3; Table 1). The intermolecular contacts are slightly longer than the sum of the van der Waals radii for the respective atoms (Bondi, 1964; Rowland & Taylor, 1996) and suggest weak interactions only.
4. Hirshfeld surface analysis
The Hirshfeld surface analysis (Hirshfeld, 1977) of the suggests that the contribution of the H⋯H intermolecular interactions to the crystal packing amounts to 46.50% and the contribution of the H⋯C interactions amounts to 23.40%. Other important intermolecular contacts for the cohesion of the structure are (values given in %): H⋯O = 10.80 and H⋯S = 10.00. Graphical representations of the Hirshfeld surface with transparency and labelled atoms (Figs. 4 and 5) indicate, in a magenta colour, the locations of the strongest intermolecular contacts, e.g. the H2, H7, H13, H15 and O1 atoms. The C—H⋯π interaction is also well represented in the Hirshfeld surface (for details, compare Figs. 3 and 5). The H⋯H, H⋯C, H⋯O and H⋯S contributions to the crystal packing are shown as a Hirshfeld surface two-dimensional fingerprint plot with cyan dots. The de (y axis) and di (x axis) values are the closest external and internal distances (values given in Å) from given points on the Hirshfeld surface contacts (Fig. 6; Wolff et al., 2012).
5. Molecular docking evaluation
In addition, a lock-and-key supramolecular analysis between the neuraminidase enzyme, whose inhibition is believed to be a key point to block the influenza viral infection (Kinger et al., 2012), and the title compound was performed. The semi-empirical equilibrium energy of the title compound was obtained using the PM6 Hamiltonian and the experimental bond lengths were conserved. The calculated parameters were: heat of formation = 139.28 kJ mol−1, gradient normal = 0.62031, HOMO = −8.96 eV, LUMO = −0.866 eV and energy gap = 7.421 eV (Stewart, 2013). The rigid molecular docking was carried out with the GOLD software (Jones et al., 1997) using the ChemPLP score function (Chen, 2015). The chalcone thiophene derivative and the active site of the neuraminidase match (Fig. 7) and the structure–activity relationship can be assumed by the following observed intermolecular interactions (H⋯A distance values given in Å): (ASN263)N—H⋯O1 (d = 1.796), (PRO245)C—H⋯Cg(thiophene ring) (d = 2.829) and (AGR287)C—H⋯N1 (d = 2.620) (Fig. 8). More details about the in silico evaluation, with additional references, can be found in the Supporting Information. For the intermolecular interactions, it is important to report that the H⋯Cg(thiophene ring) contact is observed in the structure interpretation, by the centrosymmetric dimeric arrangement of the molecules (Figs. 3 and 9), in the Hirshfeld surface analysis (Fig. 5) and in the molecular docking evaluation (Fig. 8).
6. Database survey
Chalcone-thiophene derivatives have some molecular structural features in common, namely the nearly planar geometry, as a result of the sp2-hybridized C atoms of the main fragment, and the weak intermolecular interactions, e.g. H⋯H, H⋯C or π–π contacts. One example for comparison with the title compound is the of the compound 3-(4-methylphenyl)-1-(3-thienyl)-2-propen-1-one (Li & Su, 1993). In both of the structures, the molecules are linked by weak interactions into centrosymmetric dimers and the crystal packing shows a herringbone motif: for the title compound this molecular arrangement is clear when looking along the [100] direction (Fig. 9a) and for the above-mentioned 3-thienyl derivative, along [001] (Fig. 9b).
7. Synthesis and crystallization
All starting materials are commercially available and were used without further purification. The synthesis of the title compound was adapted from a previously reported procedure (Claisen & Claparède, 1881; Schmidt, 1881; Zhou et al., 2016). In a hydroxide-catalysed reaction, a mixture of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (10 mmol) and 2-acetylthiophene (10 mmol) in ethanol (80 mL) was stirred under room temperature for 4 h. After cooling in an ice bath and filtering, an orange solid was obtained. Orange crystals were grown from the solution after 24 h.
8. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure . H atoms were located in a difference-Fourier map but were positioned with idealized geometry and were refined with isotropic displacement parameters using a riding model (HFIX command) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. A rotating model was used for the methyl groups. The crystal was refined as a two-component twin {twin law: two-axis (001) [105], BASF = 0.0181 (8)}.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
