In the title compound, C20H13ClO3, the dihedral angles between the benzoate and the chlorobenzene and benzoyl rings are 68.82 (5) and 53.76 (6)°, respectively, while the dihedral angle between the benzoyl and benzoate rings is 81.17 (5)°. The eight atoms of the benzoyl residue are essentially planar with the exception of the O atom which lies 0.1860 (5) Å out of their mean plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.97 Å). The nine atoms of benzoate residue are also essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.20 Å) with the ester O atom showing the greatest deviation [0.407 (12) Å] from their mean plane. In the crystal, molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

To a solution of (2-hydroxy-5-chlorophenyl) phenyl methanone (1, 1.99 g, 8.6 mmol) in 10% sodium hydroxide solution, benzoyl chloride (1.10 g, 8.6 mmol) was added with constant stirring. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0°C, made alkaline by adding 10% sodium solution and stirring was continued for about 1 h. The separated solid was extracted with ether (3 × 20 ml), the organic layer was washed with 10% sodium hydroxide solution (3 × 15 ml) and with distilled water (3 × 30 ml). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and ether was removed to afford crude product, which on recrystallization with alcohol gave white crystals of title compound. Yield: 71%, m.p. 365–367K.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and were treated as riding on their parent C atoms, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Experimental. CrysAlis PRO, Oxford Diffraction Ltd., Version 1.171.34.40 (release 27–08-2010 CrysAlis171. NET) (compiled Aug 27 2010,11:50:40) Empirical absorption correction using spherical harmonics, implemented in SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm. Elemental analysis for C20H13ClO3: IR (nujol): 1660 (C═O), 1750 cm-1 (ester, C═O); 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 6.9–7.6 (m, 13H, Ar—H).

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 benzophenone nucleus is an important part of the therapeutically interesting drug candidate as inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase RT, cancer (Revesz et al., 2004) and inflammatory (Khanum et al., 2004; Khanum et al., 2009; Khanum et al., 2010). Therefore, a number of benzophenone analogues were synthesized, and their chemistry has been extensively studied. The benzophenone moiety, a structural element often seen in compounds from natural sources, presents a variety of biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antimalarial and anticancer and demonstrated to be a versatile pharmacophoric nucleus, largely used in medicinal chemistry programs (Belluti et al., 2011). The importance of these substances is basically due to the diverse biological and chemical properties that they possess. In view of the above importance and to understand the conformation of the benzophenone moiety, the crystal structure determination of the title compound, was carried out. Bond lengths and bond angles of the title molecule show a fair amount of agreement with some related molecules related structures (Sieroń et al., 2004; Naveen et al., 2006; Mahendra et al., 2005). All bond lengths and angles are within expected values (Allen et al., 1987). The title compound has three benzene rings which are linked by carbonyl and ester groups. The dihedral angles between the ring (C1–C6) and (C8–C13) is 68.82 (5)°, ring (C1–C6) and (C16–C21) is 53.76 (6)° and ring (C8–C13) makes a dihedral angle of 81.17 (5)° with ring (C16–C21). The conformation of attachment of the benzoyl and benzoate rings to the central benzene ring can be characterized by torsion angles C6—C1—C7—C8 and C1—C2—O14—C15 of -54.9 (2) and -58.4 (2)°, respectively. The double bonds C7═O7 and C15═O15 are confirmed by their respective distances of 1.214 (2) and 1.196 (2) Å. Packing view of the molecules in the unit cell viewed down the a axis is shown in Fig. 2. The molecules are linked by intermolecular C20—H20···O7 interactions through hydrogen bonding of the carbonyl (benzophenone moiety) and ester substituent. The interaction with a neighbouring molecule is related to the other by a centre of inversion and form hydrogen-bonded dimer unit. Each unit is independently stacked when viewed down the a axis Fig.3.
