A second polymorph of (2E)-1-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound, C(18)H(17)FO(4), reported here is a polymorph of the structure first reported by Patil et al. [Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst. Sci. Technol. Sect. A (2007), 461, 123-130]. It is a chalcone analog and consists of substituted phenyl rings bonded at the opposite ends of a propenone group, the biologically active region. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the aromatic rings within the 4-fluoro-phenyl and trimethoxy-phenyl groups is 28.7 (1)° compared to 20.8 (6)° in the published structure. The angles between the mean plane of the prop-2-ene-1-one group and the mean plane of aromatic rings within the 4-fluoro-phenyl and trimethoxy-phenyl groups are 30.3 (4) and 7.4 (7)°, respectively, in contast to 10.7 (3) and 12.36° for the polymorph.
