In the title molecule, C16H13Cl O3, the two aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 65.3 (1)°. In the weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, which are further packed into columns propagating in [100] by weak C—H⋯π interactions.

To a mixture of 1-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (1.66 g, 0.01 mol) and p-chloro benzaldehyde (1.4 g, 0.01 mol) in 30 ml e thanol, 10 ml of 10% potassium hydroxide solution was added and stirred at 5–10 C° for 24 h (Fig. 2). The precipitate formed was collected by filtration and purified by recrystallization from ethanol. Single crystals were grown from DMF by the slow evaporation method and the yield of the compound was 75%. (m.p. 378 K).
All of the H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.19–1.50Ueq(C).

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. |

Chromenes (benzopyrans) and their derivatives exhibit a wide spectrum of biological and pharmacological properties including spasmolytic, antisterility, anti-arrhytmic, cardionthonic, antiviral, anticancer and alkylating properties (Gabor et al., 1988; Brooks, 1998; Valenti et al., 1993; Hyana & Saimoto, et al. 1987; Tang et al., 2007). In addition, polyfunctionalized chromene units are present in numerous natural products (Hatakeyama et al., 1988). Chromanone derivatives are important synthons for the synthesis of natural products such as brazillin, hematoxylin, ripariochromene and clausenin (Kooijman et al., 1984; Ellis et al., 1997; Chenera et al., 1993; Liu et al., 2007). The crystal structures of some rleated chromene derivatives viz., 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one monohydrate (Butcher et al., 2007), 5,7-dimethoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (Li et al., 2007), 5,7-dimethoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (Nallasivam et al., 2009), 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one (Brito et al., 2008) and 3-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one (Hao et al., 2010) have been reported. In view of the importance of chromene derivatives, the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), is reported.
In (I), 4-chloro phenyl ring is found bonded to a 6-methoxy-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one ring at C7 which is in an S configuration (Fig.1). The fused pyran ring in the benzopyran moiety adopts a slightly distorted envelope conformation with puckering parameters Q, θ and ϕ of 0.4973 (16)A%, 122.19 (19)°, and 243.0 (2)°, respectively. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the benzene and benzopyran rings is 65.3 (1)°. Bond distances (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are in normal ranges. Weak C—H···O hydrogen bond and C—H···π intermolecular interactions (where Cg1 is the centroid of ring C7—C12) are observed which contribute to crystal packing (Table 1).
