3-(4-Bromophenyl)-4-(4-hydroxyanilino)furan-2(5H)-one
Abstract
In the title compound, C16H12BrNO3, the butyrolactone core adopts the furan-2(5H)-one structure and forms dihedral angles of 44.80 (17) and 65.73 (18)° with the bromobenzene and phenol rings, respectively. In the crystal, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, generating R43(26) loops The edge-fused rings extend to form a chain running along the b-axis direction and C—H...π contacts help to consolidate the packing.
