In the title compound, C15H10O4, the benzene ring is twisted at an angle of 20.7 (1)° relative to the 4H-chromene skeleton. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked via a network of O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mean planes of adjacent 4H-chromene moieties are parallel or oriented at an angle of 20.9 (1)° in the crystal structure.

The title compound was synthesized in two steps. First, 3-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one was prepared by alkaline condensation of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde with 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone and subsequent oxidative heterocyclization of the product with hydrogen peroxide (the light green-yellow precipitate of the product was recrystallized twice from a 1% solution of acetic acid in ethanol) (Bader et al., 2003). Next, the 3-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one thus obtained was converted to 3-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one by maintaining a solution of the former compound in molten pyridinium chloride at 495 K for 20 minutes, then cooling the reactant mixture, and pouring it into 1% aqueous HCl. Pale brown crystals suitable for X-ray investigations were grown from DMF solutions of the filtered precipitate of the final product (m.p. = 557–558 K; lit. 555–558 K (Sobottka et al., 2000)).
H atoms of C—H bonds were positioned geometrically with H = 0.93 Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). H atoms involved in O—H···O hydrogen bonds were located on a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically 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. |

Flavones (derivatives of 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one) appear in numerous natural systems and have been comprehensively investigated in view of their antioxidant features (Nijveldt et al., 2001). Related to flavones, 3-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (flavonols) exhibit dual fluorescence in the condensed phases resulting from the Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) (Sengupta & Kasha, 1979). In flavonols this phenomenon is strongly affected by molecules from their environment, which makes the compounds interesting fluorescent sensors for analytical applications in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, ecology and medicine (Klymchenko & Demchenko, 2003; Demchenko, 2009; Choulier et al., 2010). Continuing our investigations into the physical chemistry of flavonols (Bader et al., 2003; Roshal et al., 2003; Pivovarenko et al., 2004), we present the crystal structure of 3-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one in the hope that its structural and fluorescent features will appear interesting and helpful in its practical applications.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond lengths and angles characterizing the geometry of the 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one moiety are typical of this group of compounds (Etter et al., 1986; Kumar et al., 1998; Waller et al., 2003). With respective average deviations from planarity of 0.0187 (1)° and 0.0041 (1)°, the 4H-chromene and benzene ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 20.7 (1)° (in the case of flavonol this angle is 5.5 (1)° (Etter et al., 1986)). The mean planes of the adjacent 4H-chromen-4-one moieties are either parallel (remain at an angle of 0.0 (1)°) or inclined at 20.9 (1)°.
The crystal structure of the title compound is stabilized by a network of O—H···O (Aakeröy et al., 1992) (Table 1, Fig. 2) and C—H···O (Novoa et al., 2006) (Table 1, Fig. 2) hydrogen bonds, and by non-specific dispersive interactions. Each of the two OH groups is involved in hydrogen bonds as H atom acceptor and donor. The O11—H11···O12 intramolecular hydrogen bond (Table 1, Figs. 1 and 2) is the one involved in the ESIPT phenomenon characteristic of flavonols (Sengupta & Kasha, 1979).
