(2E)-1-(3-Methyl-2-thienyl)-3-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

Chalcones are a major class of natural products having inter­esting pharmaceutical activities. The title compound, C14H11NO3S, is of inter­est as a potential bioactive agent. The central acyclic C=C double bond is trans configured. All non-H atoms lie in a common plane (r.m.s. deviation 0.075 Å). In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules form a herringbone pattern.
