The chalcones (1,3-diaryl-2-propenones) and their derivatives are important intermediates in organic synthesis and have widespread applications in medicinal industry. The title choloro chalcone derivative, 3-(3-chloro-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(4,5-dimethoxy-2-methyl phenyl) prop-2-en-1-one, has been synthesized. It is characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Title compound crystallizes in monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 23.540(11) ?, b = 9.738(4) ?, c = 17.305(7) ?, ¦Â = 106.37 (3)¡ã, V = 3806(3) ?3 and Z = 8. The mean plane of the two substituted benzene rings are twisted by 66.29 (12)¡ã with respect to each other. Ab-initio and density functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out for the title molecule using RHF/6-311G and B3LYP/6-311G basis set respectively.
