Crystal structure of (E)-3-(3,4-di-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-1-(1-hy-droxy-naphthalen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C21H18O4, consists of a 3,4-di-meth-oxy-phenyl ring and a naphthalene ring system linked via a prop-2-en-1-one spacer. The mol-ecule is almost planar, with a dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system of 2.68 (12)°. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the adjacent hy-droxy and carbonyl groups. The mol-ecule has an E conformation about the C=C bond and the carbonyl group is syn with respect to the C=C bond. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by bifurcated C-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, enclosing an R 2 (1)(6) ring motif, and by a further C-H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming undulating sheets extending in b- and c-axis directions. There are π-π inter-actions between the sheets, involving inversion-related naphthalene and benzene rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.7452 (17) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure.

Crystal structure of (E)-3-(2,4-di-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-1-(1-hy-droxy-naphthalen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title compound, C21H18O4, the C=C bond of the central enone group adopts an E conformation. The dihedral angle formed by the benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system is 6.60 (2)°. The meth-oxy groups on the benzene ring are essentially coplanar with the ring; the C-C-O-C torsion angles being 1.6 (2) and -177.1 (1)°. The hy-droxy group attached to the naphthalene ring is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The relative conformation of the two double bonds in the enone group is s-cisoid. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains propagating along [010].

(2E)-1-(3,5-Di-hydroxy-phen-yl)-3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title compound, C16H14O4, the benzene rings are inclined to one another by 4.91 (7)°. The conformation about the C=O and C=C bonds is trans and cis, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R 2 (2)(14) ring motif. The dimers are linked via O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming undulating two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (10-1). These networks are linked by further C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional structure.
