In the title compound, C9H8O3, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and dioxole rings is 1.4 (8)°, with the dioxole group in a slightly distorted envelope configuration with the flap C atom displaced by 0.0645 Å from the plane through the other four atoms. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bond interactions link the molecules into chains propagating in [011]. The crystal packing exhibits weak π–π interactions as evidenced by the relatively short distances [3.801 (9) Å] between the centroids of adjacent benzene rings.

Acetophenone is the simplest aromatic ketone. It is used as a polymerization catalyst for the manufacture of
as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and other organic compounds, as a drug to induce sleep and as a solvent for plastics, resins, cellulose and Acetophenone and its derivatives are ingredients of flavor and fragrance for soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and perfumes as well as in foods, beverages, and tobacco. Many synthetic or naturally occurring compounds containing the 1,3-dioxolyl group are very important because of their pharmacological properties (Ma et al. 1987a,b; Ohta & Kimoto 1976; Krause & Goeber 1972; Gabrielsen et al. 1992). The of 1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethanol (Yathirajan et al., 2007) is reported. The title compound, (I), was used recently for the synthesis of (2E)-1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one and (2E)-1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (Jasinski et al., 2008). In view of the importance of the title compound, C9H8O3, (I), we report the crystal structure.The molecular structure consists of an ethanoyl group bonded to a benzene group which is fused to a 1,3-dioxol ring in a nearly planar fashion (Fig. 1). The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and dioxol ring is 1.4 (8)°, as the dioxol group maintains itself in a slightly distorted envelope configuration (Cremer & Pople, 1975) with puckering parameters Q(2) and Phi(2) of 0.1020 and 34.7750, respectively. For an ideal envelope, Phi(2) has a value of k x 36. Bond lengths and bond angles are all within expected ranges (Allen et al. 1987).
Weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bond interactions link the molecules into chains propagating in the [011] direction (Fig. 2). Crystal packing exhibits weak Cg2—Cg2 π-π interactions as evidenced by relatively short distances between the centroids of nearby aromatic rings (Cg2—Cg2: 3.8019 Å; slippage = 1.630 Å; 1 - x, -y, -z; Cg2 = ring centroid for C2—C7). A geometry optimized MOPAC AM1 computational calculation (Schmidt & Polik 2007) on (I) (AM1 (Austin Model 1 approximation), in vacuo, results in a completely planar molecule. This observation supports a suggestion that intermolecular forces influence the in the crystal.

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. |

Acetophenone is the simplest aromatic ketone. It is used as a polymerization catalyst for the manufacture of olefins, as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and other organic compounds, as a drug to induce sleep and as a solvent for plastics, resins, cellulose ethers, and esters. Acetophenone and its derivatives are ingredients of flavor and fragrance for soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and perfumes as well as in foods, beverages, and tobacco. Many synthetic or naturally occurring compounds containing the 1,3-dioxolyl group are very important because of their pharmacological properties (Ma et al. 1987a,b; Ohta & Kimoto 1976; Krause & Goeber 1972; Gabrielsen et al. 1992). The crystal structure of 1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethanol (Yathirajan et al., 2007) is reported. The title compound, (I), was used recently for the synthesis of (2E)-1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one and (2E)-1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (Jasinski et al., 2008). In view of the importance of the title compound, C9H8O3, (I), we report the crystal structure.
The molecular structure consists of an ethanoyl group bonded to a benzene group which is fused to a 1,3-dioxol ring in a nearly planar fashion (Fig. 1). The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and dioxol ring is 1.4 (8)°, as the dioxol group maintains itself in a slightly distorted envelope configuration (Cremer & Pople, 1975) with puckering parameters Q(2) and Phi(2) of 0.1020 and 34.7750, respectively. For an ideal envelope, Phi(2) has a value of k x 36. Bond lengths and bond angles are all within expected ranges (Allen et al. 1987).
Weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bond interactions link the molecules into chains propagating in the [011] direction (Fig. 2). Crystal packing exhibits weak Cg2—Cg2 π-π interactions as evidenced by relatively short distances between the centroids of nearby aromatic rings (Cg2—Cg2: 3.8019 Å; slippage = 1.630 Å; 1 - x, -y, -z; Cg2 = ring centroid for C2—C7). A geometry optimized MOPAC AM1 computational calculation (Schmidt & Polik 2007) on (I) (AM1 (Austin Model 1 approximation), in vacuo, results in a completely planar molecule. This observation supports a suggestion that intermolecular forces influence the molecular conformation in the crystal.
