The mixture of 4-methoxybenzoic acid (340.4 mg, 0.0022 mol), potassium carbonate (340.3 mg, 0.0025 mol) and 2-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl) ethanone (500 mg, 0.0022 mol) in DMF (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. On cooling, colorless needle-shaped crystals of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl 4-methoxybenzoate begins to separate out. It was collected by filtration and then recrystallized from ethanol to yield colourless plates of (I). Yield: 691.6 mg, 92.7%, M.p.: 385–386 K.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically [C—H = 0.95, 0.98 or 0.99 Å] and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl group. In the final
an outlier (-3 10 5) was omitted.As part of our ongoing studies of phenacyl benzoates (Fun et al., 2011a,b), we hereby report the
of the title compound, (I).The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The C1–C6 benzene ring [maximum deviation of 0.008 (1) Å at atom C4] and C10–C15 benzene ring [maximum deviation of 0.005 (1) Å at atoms C12 and C15] make a dihedral angle of 70.11 (6)° with each other. Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and are comparable to related structures (Fun et al., 2011a,b).
In the π interactions, involving the centroids of C1–C6 benzene rings.
(Fig. 2), the molecules are interconnected by C2—H2A···O4, C5—H5A···O2 and C8—H8B···O3 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) forming a three-dimensional network.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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. |

As part of our ongoing studies of phenacyl benzoates (Fun et al., 2011a,b), we hereby report the crystal structure of the title compound, (I).
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The C1–C6 benzene ring [maximum deviation of 0.008 (1) Å at atom C4] and C10–C15 benzene ring [maximum deviation of 0.005 (1) Å at atoms C12 and C15] make a dihedral angle of 70.11 (6)° with each other. Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and are comparable to related structures (Fun et al., 2011a,b).
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), the molecules are interconnected by C2—H2A···O4, C5—H5A···O2 and C8—H8B···O3 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) forming a three-dimensional network. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H···π interactions, involving the centroids of C1–C6 benzene rings.
