(2E)-3-(4-Ethoxyphenyl)-1-(2-methyl-4-phenylquinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-on e monohydrate

The title hydrate, C27H23NO2 center dot H2O, features an almost planar quinoline residue (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 angstrom) with the benzene dihedral angle = 63.80 (7)degrees] and chalcone C-C-C-O torsion angle = -103.38 (18)degrees] substituents twisted significantly out of its plane. The configuration about the C=C bond 1.340 (2) angstrom] is E. In the crystal, molecules related by the 21 symmetry operation are linked along the b axis via water molecules that form O-H center dot center dot center dot O-c and O-H center dot center dot center dot N-q hydrogen bonds (c = carbonyl and q = quinoline). A C-H center dot center dot center dot O interaction also occurs.
