In the title chalcone-thio­phene derivative, the dihedral angle between the aromatic and the thio­phene rings is 11.4 (2)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯S weak inter­actions along [100], forming rings of R22(8) graph-set motif, by C—H⋯O weak inter­actions along [010], forming C(6) chains, and by weak H(meth­yl–group)⋯Cg(thio­phene ring) inter­actions into dimers; the crystal packing resembles a herringbone arrangement when viewed along [100]. A mol­ecular docking calculation of the title compound with the neuraminidase enzyme was carried out.
