Abstract
In the title compound, C11H12FNO, the dihedral angle between the prop-2-en-1-one group and the benzene ring is 19.33 (6)°. The configuration of the keto group with respect to the olefinic double bond is s-cis. In the crystal, the molecules form dimers through aromatic π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.667 (1) Å] and are linked via C—H⋯O interactions into chains along the b axis.

Comment
(2E)-3-(Dimethylamino)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is a versatile substrate used for synthesis of number of heterocyclic compounds and drug intermediates (Kantevari et al., 2007; Ke et al., 2009; Omran et al., 1997; Eddington et al., 2003).
The molecular structure of the title compound (I) is shown in Fig.1. The bond lengths and angles observed in (I) show normal values and are comparable with a related structure (Deng et al., 2010). The dihedral angle between prop-2-en-1-one group and the phenyl ring is 19.33 (6) °. Molecules in the unit cell are packed together to form one dimensional assembly along the b axis (Fig.2) through intermolecular C6—H6B···O1 interactions (Table 1). The crystal structure is further stabilized by π–π interactions between the benzene ring (C7—C12) of the molecule at (x, y, z) and the benzene ring of an inversion related molecule at (- x, - y, -z)[centroid separation = 3.667 (1) Å, interplanar spacing = 3.535 Å and centroid shift = 0.97 Å].
Experimental
In a 50 ml round bottom flask charged with 5 mmole of 4-methyl acetophenone and 5 mmole of dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. Then 10 ml toulene was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at 110°C. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion of reaction and cooling the reaction mixture was evaporated under vacuum. Finally, the product was isolated by column chromatography using ethyl acetate and n-hexane(2/8 vol.). Yield: 85%. IR(KBr): 1643, 1598, 1550,1439 cm-1. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 2.93(s, 3H, N—CH3), 3.15(s, 3H, N—CH3), 5.65–5.69 (d, 1H, =CH), 7.79–7.83(d, 1H,=CH), 7.05–7.11(m, 2H, Ar—H), 7.89–7.94 (m, 2H, Ar—H).
Refinement
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and were treated as riding on their parent C atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93–0.96 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl 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. |
