In the title compound, C17H13FO3, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 70.34 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of bifurcated C—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are linked via C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F interactions, forming a three-dimensional structure.

Phosphorous oxychloride (15.6 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-hydroxyacetophenone (12.0 mmol) and 4'-fluoro cinnamic acid (15.6 mmol) in dry pyridine. The solution was stirred at 60–70 °C for 3 h, then poured into ice and water and the reaction mixture acidified with hydrochloric acid (pH 3–4). The obtained solid was removed by filtration and dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 ml) and purified by silica gel

The title compound (E)-2-acetylphenyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl) acrylate was obtained as an intermediate en route to the synthesis of 4'-fluoro-2-styrylchromone and easily converts to the 2-hydroxyphenyl pentadienone with DMSO in the presence of a strong base (Santos et al., 2009). It was synthesized according to the procedure by Pinto et al. (2000) with modification. The title compound is a core structure in various natural and pharmaceutically active compounds, displaying a broad spectrum of activity (Gomes et al., 2010).
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the two aromatic rings (ring 1: C3—C4—C5—C6—C7—C8; ring 2: C12—C13—C14—C15—C16—C17—C18) are almost perpendicular to each other with a dihedral angle of 70.34 (5)°. The torsion angle C9—C10—C11—C12 is -178.8 (1)o, indicating a trans configuration of the double bond. All bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al.,1987). In the crytsal packing, ring 1 adopts a parallel offset arrangement with itself of the neighbouring molecule with centroidal distance of 4.125 (1) Å. The crystal is further stablized by a number of weak hydrogen bonds with the type C—H···X (X = O or F) and C—H···π (Table 1).

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 title compound (E)-2-acetylphenyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl) acrylate was obtained as an intermediate en route to the synthesis of 4'-fluoro-2-styrylchromone and easily converts to the 2-hydroxyphenyl pentadienone with DMSO in the presence of a strong base (Santos et al., 2009). It was synthesized according to the procedure by Pinto et al. (2000) with modification. The title compound is a core structure in various natural and pharmaceutically active compounds, displaying a broad spectrum of activity (Gomes et al., 2010).
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the two aromatic rings (ring 1: C3—C4—C5—C6—C7—C8; ring 2: C12—C13—C14—C15—C16—C17—C18) are almost perpendicular to each other with a dihedral angle of 70.34 (5)°. The torsion angle C9—C10—C11—C12 is -178.8 (1)o, indicating a trans configuration of the double bond. All bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al.,1987). In the crytsal packing, ring 1 adopts a parallel offset arrangement with itself of the neighbouring molecule with centroidal distance of 4.125 (1) Å. The crystal is further stablized by a number of weak hydrogen bonds with the type C—H···X (X = O or F) and C—H···π (Table 1).
