Comment
Chalcones are biologically active compounds (e.g. Nielsen et al., 1998) and have also been used as intermediates for the synthesis of 4-thiazolidinones (Mukhtari et al., 1999).
The title compound (I) was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde and 2-butanol. The molecule is structurally related to the 3,5-Bis[4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]-1-propyl-4-piperidone(II) (Nesterov et al., 2007) and (1E,4E)-1,5-Bis(4-methylphenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one(III) (Arshad et al., 2008). The compound is almost planer while the dimethyl amino moity is oriented at dihedral angle of 7.94 (0.19) ° to the benzene ring. No significant hydrogen bonding interaction is found in the crystal structure.
Experimental
Sodium hydroxide (0.8 g, 0.0208 mmol) was dissolved in distilled water (10 ml) and ethanol (8 ml) in a round bottom flask. The solution was cooled to room temperature. Half of the mixture of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (1 g, 0.0083 mmol) and 2-butanol (0.60 g, 0.0083 mmol) were added to the above solution and stirred at room temperature for 15 minute then the remaining mixture was added and stirred for 2 h under the same conditions. Yellow precipitate obtained was filtered and washed with cold water. The washed precipitate was crystallized in acetone under slow evaporation to yield yellow rods of (I).
Refinement
The H-atoms for aromatic (C—H = 0.93), methyl (C—H = 0.96) and methylene (C—H = 0.97) carbon atoms were refined geometrically and treated as riding atoms: with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq for aromatic and methylene carbons and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq for methyl carbon atoms.

Special details
| 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. |
