(E)-3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-thienyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

The title compound, C15H14O3S, has two symmetry-independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit with almost identical geometry. The dihedral angle between the benzene and thio-phene rings is 1.61 (11)° in one mol-ecule and 7.21 (11)° in the other. In both mol-ecules, C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate rings of graph-set motif S(5). The crystal structure is stabilized by C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C - H⋯π inter-actions and π-π inter-actions involving the benzene and thio-phene rings, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.5249 (13) and 3.6057 (13) Å.
