In the crystal structure of the title compound, C20H16O4, which is in the enol form, the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 63.42 (9) and 5.19 (10)° with the phenyl and furan rings, respectively. There is a short strong intramolecular O-H
O hydrogen bond.
1-[4-(Benzyloxy)phenyl]ethanone (2.26 g, 0.01 mol), methyl furan-2-carboxylate (1.26 g, 0.01 mol), NaNH2 (0.78 g, 0.02 mol) and dry ether (60 ml) were placed into round bottom flask. The mixture was stirred for 6 h at room temperature under a blanket of nitrogen, acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid, and stirring was continued until all solids dissolved. The ether layer was separated and washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and was removed by evaporation. The residual solid was recrystallized from an ethanol solution to give the title compound (I) (yield 1.75 g, 54.7%; m.p. 403 K). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown by slow evaporation of a CH2Cl2—EtOH (1:4) solution at room temperature.
H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 to 0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The H atom of the hydroxyl group was located in a difference Fourier map and its position was refined freely, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

1,3-Diketones in their enolic tautomeric forms have been extensively studied owing to their ability to form strong intermolecular or intramolecular hydrogen bonds (Vila et al., 1991; Bertolasi et al., 1991; Gilli et al., 2004). They are among the most studied ligands in the chemistry of metal complexes and used widely in the chemistry of metallocomplexes (Baskar & Roesky, 2005; Bassett et al., 2004; Jang et al., 2006; Soldatov et al., 2003).
The crystal structure of the title compound, (I), is in the enol form stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond (Fig. 1). The distances of O2—H2 and O3···H2 are 1.15 (3) and 1.38 (3) Å, respectively. The central benzene ring (C8—C13) makes dihedral angles of 63.42 and 5.19° with two aromatic rings (C1—C6) and (C17—O4), respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by van der Waals forces.
