(E)-3-(2-Chlorophenyl)-1-(2-fur-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

The title compound, C13H9ClO2, adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=C double bond of the propenone unit. The benzene and furyl rings are twisted slightly from each other, making a dihedral angle of 6.47 (7)°. Intra-molecular C - H⋯O and C - H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds generate an S(5)S(5)S(5) ring motif. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are stacked along the b axis and weak inter-molecular C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed.
