The 8H7ClO2, consists of two independent molecules, with comparable geometries. Both molecules are approximately planar (r.m.s. deviations = 0.040 and 0.064 Å for the 11 non-H atoms). In the crystal, molecules are linked via intermolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains two molecules thick along (-101).

The title compound, 2-chloro-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone, was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and recrystallized from methanol by the slow evaporation method (m.p. 422 K).
O-bound hydrogen atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely with O–H = 0.814 (17) - 0.840 (17) Å. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.95 or 0.99 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).
In view of the importance of α-haloketones in heterocyclic synthesis and their reactivity towards oxygen nucleophiles (Erian et al., 2003), the of title compond (I) is reported. The of the bromo analogue of the title compound has also been reported (Qing & Zhang, 2009).
The
(Fig. 1) of the title compound consists of two independent molecules (A and B), with comparable geometries. Both molecules (A and B) are approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.040 and 0.064 Å, respectively, for the eleven non-H atoms). Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and are comparable with a related structure (Fun et al., 2012).In the
Fig. 2, molecules are linked via intermolecular O1B–H1O2···O2A, O1A–H1O1···O2B, C4A–H4AA···O2B, C8A–H8AA···O1A, C2B–H2BA···O2A and C4B–H4BA···O1A hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into two-molecular-thick chains along the [-101].For general background to and related structures of the title compound, see: Erian et al.

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 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. |

In view of the importance of α-haloketones in heterocyclic synthesis and their reactivity towards oxygen nucleophiles (Erian et al., 2003), the crystal structure of title compond (I) is reported. The crystal structure of the bromo analogue of the title compound has also been reported (Qing & Zhang, 2009).
The asymmetric unit (Fig. 1) of the title compound consists of two independent molecules (A and B), with comparable geometries. Both molecules (A and B) are approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.040 and 0.064 Å, respectively, for the eleven non-H atoms). Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and are comparable with a related structure (Fun et al., 2012).
In the crystal structure, Fig. 2, molecules are linked via intermolecular O1B–H1O2···O2A, O1A–H1O1···O2B, C4A–H4AA···O2B, C8A–H8AA···O1A, C2B–H2BA···O2A and C4B–H4BA···O1A hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into two-molecular-thick chains along the [-101].
