Comment top

A number of compounds derived from chalcones possess multi-protecting biochemical activities, such as antifungal, antimalarial, antifertility etc. The biological activity of these compounds depends on the conformation of the keto group present in the molecule. Chalcones and their derivatives showed inhibitory action against S. aureus, F. graminearum and B. alli (Marrian et al., 1947). These compounds were also toxic to red spider mite (Eaton & Davis, 1950).

In the title molecule, (I), the bond distances are found to agree with the literature values (Allen et al., 1987). The bond angles at phenyl rings A and B show no significant deviations from the standard value, except around atoms C14 and C19. The slight distortion in the exocyclic bond angles at C14 and C19 may be due to the steric interactions between the isopropyl groups and phenyl rings. The dihedral angle between phenyl rings A and B is 83.8 (2)° and they are oriented at angles of 8.7 (1) and 87.0 (1)°, respectively, with respect to the keto group. The O5—C5—C4—C3 torsion angle of -17.7 (3)° shows that the molecule assumes an s-cis conformation for the keto system. Apart from van der Waals interactions, the packing of the molecules in the crystal is stabilized by intermolecular C—H···O interactions (Desiraju, 1991, 1996).

Experimental top

To 1 mmol of LiAlH4 in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1 mmol of amine ester was added at room temperature in a dried side arm flask and stirred for 4 h. To the stirred solution, benzalacetophenol (5 mmol) and diisopropyl malonate (5 mmol) were added and stirring continued for 7 h. The reaction was monitored through by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) until all the diisopropyl malonate had reacted. The reaction was quenched with 1 N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with NaHCO3 and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave a syrupy mass which on flash column chromotography yielded a crystalline solid. Colourless needle-shaped crystals were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature from a hexane–ethyl acetate (1:1) mixture.

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.
