Abstract

In the title compound, C₁₇H₁₆O₄, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings is 19.34 (7)°. The mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group, the active site in this molecule, makes angles of 7.40 (8) and 13.25 (8)°, respectively, with the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings. The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, weak intermolecular C—H⋯O and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7386 (9) Å].

Comment

In continuation to our studies on crystal structures of chalcones (Jasinski et al., 2010, 2011a, 2011b), we report here the synthesis, Fig. 1, and crystal structure of a new chalcone, (I), Fig. 2. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings is 19.34 (7)\ % (Fig. 2). The mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group, the active site in this molecule, makes angles of 7.40 (8) ° and 13.25 (8) °, respectively, with the hydroxyphenyl and dimethoxyphenyl rings. Bond lengths and angles are normal and correspond to those observed in related compounds (Butcher et al., 2006; Cao et al., 2005; Harrison et al., 2007; Jasinski et al., 2010, 2011a, 2011b; Ngaini et al., 2009; Radha Krishna et al., 2005; Sharma et al., 1997; Wu et al., 2005). Crystal packing is stabilized by O—H···O hydrogen bonds, weak C—H···O contacts (Table 2) and π—π stacking interactions (Table 3); see Fig. 3.

Experimental

4-Hydroxyacetophenone (1.36 g, 0.01 mol) was mixed with 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (1.66 g, 0.01 mol) and dissolved in ethanol (40 ml), Fig.1. To this solution, 5 ml of KOH (50%) was added at 278 K. The reaction mixture stirred overnight at room temperature and poured on to crushed ice. The pH of this mixture was adjusted to 3–4 with 2 M HCl aqueous solution. The resulting crude solid was filtered, washed successively with dilute HCl solution and distilled water, and finally recrystallized from ethyl alcohol (95%) to give the pure chalcone. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were grown by the slow evaporation of the solution of the compound in ethyl alcohol:DMF (4:1) (M.pt.: 438–442 K). Composition: Found (Calculated) for C₁₇H₁₆O₄, C 75.22 (75.28); H: 5.95 (5.92) %.
