Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one

Abstract

The title compound C18 H17FO4 was synthesized and recrystallized from an organic solution. The crystal structure of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal class in the space group P21/c with cell parameters a = 7.6930(6) Å, b = 15.2320(11)Å, c = 14.1280(12) Å, β = 106.596(3)°, Z = 4, and V = 1586.6(2) Å3. The unsaturated keto group is not strictly planar and is in a s-cis conformation.
