The title compound, C15H9ClO2, is a synthetic flavonoid obtained by the of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one. The 4-chlorophenyl ring is twisted at an angle of 11.54° with respect to the chromen-4-one skeleton. In the crystal, pairs of molecules are interconnected by weak Cl⋯Cl interactions [3.3089 (10) Å] forming dimmers which are further peripherally connected through intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The synthesis of the title compound was carried out in two steps according to the published procedure. (Migrdichian 1957; Awasthi et al., 2009). In the first step, an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (10% w/v, 10 ml) was added to a solution of 2-hydroxyacetophenone (1.77 g m, 10 mmol) and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (1.73 g m, 10 mmol) in minimum amount of methanol (3–5 ml) at ice cooled flask. The reaction mixture was allowed to draw closer to room temperature and stirred for 18–20 h yielded a yellow solid. The completion of the reaction was monitored by thin layer
After completion of the reaction, the mixture was neutralized with 10% hydrochloric acid in water. The compound was characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT–IR and EI–MS.In second step, the νmax (KBr) cm-1: 1651 (C═O), 1606 and 1510 (C═C aromatic), 1263 (C—O); 1H NMR (300 Mz, CDCl3) p.p.m.: δ 6.63 (1H, s, H-3, pyrone ring), δ 7.32–7.48 (4H, m, Ar-H, H'-5, H'-6, H'-7, H'-8), 7.20 (2H, dd, J = 2.4 Hz, H'-5, H'-3), 7.28 (2H, dd, J = 2.1 Hz, H'-2, H'-6), 13C NMR (300 Mz, CDCl3) ppm: EI–MS: m/z 255 [M+].
was carried out according to published procedure (Shah et al., 1955). Briefly, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propenone (40 mg, 0.12 mmol) & SeO2 (39 mg, 0.35 mmol) were added to dry amyl alcohol (30 ml) and the mixture was heated in an oil bath at 140–150 °C so that the entire compound was completely dissolved in the solvent. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 12 h and completion of the reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture was then filtered and dried in vacuum and purified by silica gel column using (Pet. ether: EtOAc, 2:3) as The recrystalliation of an isolated compound from PE/ethylacetate to afford 2-(4-chlorophenyl)chromen-4-one (10 mg, 20.1%) as white solid, m.p 177–178°C.

FT–IRFor crystallization 5 mg of compound dissolved in 5 ml mixture of Petroleum ether/ethylacetate (80:20) and left for several days at ambient temperature which yielded fine needle shape crystals.

The term flavonoid generally includes a group of natural products containing a C6—C3—C6 carbon skeleton or more specifically phenylbenzopyran functionality in the molecule. Flavones (flavus = yellow), a class of the
mainly found in cereals and herbs. Flavanoids exhibit a wide range of biological activities such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, antifungal, antitumour and antimalarial (Tim Cushnie & Lamb 2005). Recently, few flavanoids have also been characterized in solid state (Wera et al., 2011). Continuing our ongoing work on antimalarials (Awasthi et al., 2009) and of small molecules (Singh, Agarwal & Awasthi, 2011; Singh, Singh et al., 2011), here we wish to report the of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)chromen-4-one.In the title compound (Fig. 1),the bond lengths and bond angles are usual and are comparable with the analogues structure of 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (flavone) reported earlier (Allen et al., 1987; Waller et al., 2003). The 4-chlorophenyl ring in the molecule is twisted at an angle of 11.54° relative to the chromen-4-one skeleton confirming nearly planner structure. The centroid–centroid distance between two parallel chromone ring in the molecule is 3.87 Å. Further, it is evident from the crystal packing structure (Fig. 2) that 8 molecules are present in a
and adjacent chromone units are parallel in a given column, thus forming a herringbone type pattern. Moreover,crystal packing in the molecule is stabilized by weaker intermolecular hydrogen bonding C11—H11—O2 [D = 3.34 (3) Å] which is very well supported by earlier findings (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999). Further, weak interaction among atoms in molecule such as Cl1—Cl1 (x, -1 + y, 1/2 - z) [3.30 Å] (Reddy et al.,2006) and C8—H8—H8—C8 [2.26 Å](Wang et al., 2010) are also responsible for stability in the crystal packing. Further, intermolecular Cl1—Cl1 short interaction forms a dimeric unit which are further peripherically links to six other molecules through C—H—O and C—H—H—C interactions.For general features and crystal structures of flavanoids, see: Tim Cushnie & Lamb (2005); Wera et al. (2011). For crystal structures of small molecules see: Singh, Agarwal & Awasthi (2011); Singh, Singh et al. (2011). For synthesis, see: Migrdichian (1957); Awasthi et al. (2009); Shah et al. (1955).

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. |

The term flavonoid generally includes a group of natural products containing a C6—C3—C6 carbon skeleton or more specifically phenylbenzopyran functionality in the molecule. Flavones (flavus = yellow), a class of the flavonoids mainly found in cereals and herbs. Flavanoids exhibit a wide range of biological activities such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, antifungal, antitumour and antimalarial (Tim Cushnie & Lamb 2005). Recently, few flavanoids have also been characterized in solid state (Wera et al., 2011). Continuing our ongoing work on antimalarials (Awasthi et al., 2009) and crystal structure of small molecules (Singh, Agarwal & Awasthi, 2011; Singh, Singh et al., 2011), here we wish to report the crystal structure of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)chromen-4-one.
In the title compound (Fig. 1),the bond lengths and bond angles are usual and are comparable with the analogues structure of 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (flavone) reported earlier (Allen et al., 1987; Waller et al., 2003). The 4-chlorophenyl ring in the molecule is twisted at an angle of 11.54° relative to the chromen-4-one skeleton confirming nearly planner structure. The centroid–centroid distance between two parallel chromone ring in the molecule is 3.87 Å. Further, it is evident from the crystal packing structure (Fig. 2) that 8 molecules are present in a unit cell and adjacent chromone units are parallel in a given column, thus forming a herringbone type pattern. Moreover,crystal packing in the molecule is stabilized by weaker intermolecular hydrogen bonding C11—H11—O2 [D = 3.34 (3) Å] which is very well supported by earlier findings (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999). Further, weak interaction among atoms in molecule such as Cl1—Cl1 (x, -1 + y, 1/2 - z) [3.30 Å] (Reddy et al.,2006) and C8—H8—H8—C8 [2.26 Å](Wang et al., 2010) are also responsible for stability in the crystal packing. Further, intermolecular Cl1—Cl1 short interaction forms a dimeric unit which are further peripherically links to six other molecules through C—H—O and C—H—H—C interactions.
