1-(5-Chloro-2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)ethanone

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C16H15ClO4, contains aryl rings which are inclined by 75.6 (1)° to each other. It displays intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonding between the 2-hydroxy and carbonyl groups, forming a six-membered ring. Furthermore, the 4-hydroxy group, acting as a hydrogen-bond donor, is bound to the O atom of the 2-hydroxy group of another molecule.
