2-(4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)phenoxy)-2-methylpropanoic acid (6.28 mmol, 2.00 g) was dissolved in 35% hydrochloric acid ethanol solution (15 ml), the solution was heated to 338.15 K under N2 atmosphere for 3 h. The reaction mexture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was distilled to get the crude compound. The crude compond was dissolved in dichloromethane (15 ml), washed with water (10 ml) three times, dried, and concentrated to get the title compound (1.95 g). pure: white solid (Bandgar et al. 2011). Crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.
H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93, 0.98 and 0.97 Å for aromatic, methine and methylene H atoms, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (or 1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq(C). 1692 Friedel pairs were measured.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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 title compound, C20H21ClO4, (I), is Fenofibrate, an antihypertensive drug (Guichard et al. 2000). We report herein its crystal structure.
In the title compound, (I), the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and phenyl rings is 126.8 (1)°. Crystal packing is influenced by weak C—H···O intermolecular interactions. Bond lengths are in normal ranges (Allen et al. 1987).
