(E)-3-(2-Chloro-phen-yl)-1-(2,4-dichloro-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title chalcone derivative, C15H9Cl3O, the dihedral angle between the 2-chloro-phenyl and 2,4-dichloro-phenyl rings is 41.79 (14)°. Weak C - H⋯O and C - H⋯Cl intra-molecular inter-actions involving the enone unit generate S(5) ring motifs. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are arranged in a head-to-tail manner along the a axis. These chains are stacked along the b axis.
