In the title compound, C14H10O2, the tricycle is not planar, being bent with a dihedral angle of 4.7 (1)° between the two benzene rings. In the crystal, π–π interactions between the six-membered rings of neighbouring molecules [centroid–centroid distances = 3.580 (3) and 3.605 (3) Å] form stacks propagating along [101].

(4-Benzoyl-4-methyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid ethyl ester was achieved by refluxing a mixture of 5.methyl-2-hydroxy benzophenone (2.94 g, 0.013 mol) and ethyl chloroacetate (3.18 g, 0.026 mol) in the presence of dry acetone (50 ml) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (2.69 g, 0.019 mol) for 8 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and solvent was removed by distillation. The residual mass was triturated with cold water to remove potassium carbonate and extracted with ether (3 τimes 50 ml). The ether layer was washed with 10% sodium hydroxide solution (3 τimes 50 ml) followed by water (3τimes30 ml) and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The crude solid on recrystallization with ethanol afforded (4-benzoyl-4-methyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid ethyl ester with 90% yield. A mixture of (4-benzoyl-4-methyl-phenoxy)-acetic acid ethyl ester (1 g, 0.0033 mol) and sodium hydroxide (0.064 g, 0.0016 mol) in presence of ethyl alcohol (40 ml) was refluxed for about 7–9 hrs. After completion of reaction monitored by TLC, the reaction mixture was cooled and neutralized with 5% sodium carbonate solution. The solvent was removed by distillation and the residual mass was washed with water and recrystallized from methanol to achieve 2-methyl-xanthen-9-one with 70% yield. m.p.369–373 K; IR (Nujol):1665 cm-1 (C=O); 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 2.3 (s, 3H, Ar—CH3), 6.9–7.6(bm, 7H, Ar—H); Anal.

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. |

Xanthones, a particular class of plant phytochemicals from mangosteen, are highly biologically active compounds, which possess anti-inflammatory properties such as COX inhibition, and have cardiovascular protective effects (Jiang et al., 2004; Sampath & Vijayaraghavan, 2007; Nakatani et al., 2002). Many naturally occurring xanthones and their prenylated derivatives are found to exhibit significant biological and pharmacological properties, such as antibacterial, antifungal and anti-tumor activities and it can be inferred that the presence of phenyl groups can be associated with an improvement of potency and selectivity for some of these properties (Pinto et al., 2005). As a large number of biologically active xanthene derivatives with pyran and dihydropyran rings are commonly found in nature, we were interested in obtaining these type of compounds to evaluate their antitumor activity. For this purpose, the title compound, 2-methyl-xanthen-9-one (I), was synthesized.
In (I) (Fig. 1), all bond lengths are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and comparable to those observed in related structures (Ee et al., 2010; Boonnak et al., 2010). The three ring system is not planar. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 4.7 (1)°. π–π Interactions with distances Cg1···Cg2i = 3.605 (1) Å (symmetry code: 1 - x, -y, -z); Cg2···Cg2i = 3.850 (1) Å and Cg3···Cg1ii = 3.580 (1) Å [symmetry codes: (i) 1 - x, -y, -z; (ii) 2 - x, -y, 1 - z], Cg1, Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of C9/C14/C11–C13, C1–C4/C11/C14 and C5–C8/C13/C12 rings, respectively, form stacks of the molecules propagated in [101].
