6-Chloro-4-(4-methylphenoxymethyl)-2H-chromen-2-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C17H13ClO3, the coumarin and phenoxy moieties are essentially co-planar, making a dihedral angle of 1.99 (7)°. The phenoxy moiety is oriented antiperiplanar with respect to the coumarin ring as indicated by the C—C—O—C angle of −179.97 (16)°. In the crystal, the sheet-like packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds.
