ABSTRACT
The title compound (4-Chloro-2-hydroxy-phenyl)-phenyl-methanone was synthesized and the product obtained was characterized by spectroscopic techniques, and finally the structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with the space group Pbca with unit cell parameters, a = 14.0359(5) Å, b = 6.8084(3) Å, c = 23.1097(8) Å, and Z = 4. The structure exhibits an intramolecular hydrogen bond which closes an S(6) ring. No directional interactions beyond the van der Waals packing contacts were identified in the crystal structure.
