“…Many natural chalcones, such as echinatin, naringenin, isoliquiritigenin, butein, 4-hydroxyderricin, 4-hydroxylonchocarpin, derricin, xanthoangelol, lonchocarpin, licochalcone A, licochalcone E, humulusol, munsericin, flavokawain A, isobavachalcone, mallotophilippen C, D and E, broussochalcone A, crotaorixin, pedicinin and nardoaristolone A have been isolated from plants (Rozmer & Perje ´si, 2016;C ¸elik et al, 2023;Chalkha et al, 2023). Moreover, the enone moiety is a widespread structural motif often found in biologically active compounds possessing enzyme inhibitory, anticancer and antimicrobial activity (Poustforoosh et al, 2022;Tapera et al, 2022;Sarkı et al, 2023). Herein, in continuation to our recent investigations (Gurbanov et al, 2022a,b), we report the crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (2E)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one.…”
