5-(2-Furyl)-3-hydroxy-1-phenylpenta-2,4-dien-1-one

A. F. Arrieta and A. Mostad

Abstract: In the crystalline state, the title molecule, C₁₅H₁₂O₃, exists in the enolized form and displays a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond. The molecular structure supports the hypothesis that the conjugation in the molecule is a determining factor for the position of the enol H atom. The packing of the molecules shows interactions between phenyl H atoms and enol groups, thus forming weak C-HO bonds. Possible C-H interactions are also indicated.
