2,3,4-Trihydroxybenzophenone monohydrate

N. Okabe and H. Kyoyama

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, phenyl(2,3,4-trihydroxyphenyl)methanone monohydrate, C₁₃H₁₀O₄·H₂O, two benzene rings are inclined at 44.6  (5)° to each other, and the carbonyl O atom of the benzoyl group lies nearly in the 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzene ring plane. The H atoms of the three hydroxyl groups are oriented in the same direction around the ring and form intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is stabilized by all of the available hydrogen bonds and by stacking interactions between adjacent molecules.
