A mixture of 2-nitroacetphenone (0.02 mol), 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (0.02 mol) and 8% NaOH(5 ml) was stirred in ethanol(30 ml) for 4 h to afford the title compound (yield 65%). Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by recrystallization from ethyl acetate at room temperature.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq of the parent atoms.
Among flavonoids, chalcones have been identified as interesting compounds having multiple biological activities which include antiinflammatory (Hsieh et al.,1998) and antioxidant (Anto et al.,1994). Of particular interest, the effectiveness of chalcones against cancer has been investigated (De Vincenzo et al.,2000; Dimmock et al.,1998). As part of our search for new biologically active compounds we synthesized the title compound (I) and report its crystal structure herein.
In the title molecule (Fig. 1) the dihedral angle formed by the two benzene rings is 67.44 (3)°. The nitro group is twisted from the attached benzene ring forming a dihedral angle of 53.73 (5)°. All of the bond lengths and bond angles are in normal ranges and comparable to those in related structures (Fun et al.,2008; Guo et al.,2009). The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···F hydrogen bonds.
For the biological activities of chalcones, see: Hsieh et al. (1998); Anto et al. (1994); De Vincenzo et al.(2000); Dimmock et al. (1998). For related structures, see: Fun et al. (2008); Guo et al. (2009).

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. |
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. |
