(4-Fluorophenyl)(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)methanone

Abstract

In the title compound, C14H11FO2, the dihedral angles beteen the central C3O ketone residue and the fluoro- and hydroxy-substituted benzene rings are 50.44 (9) and 12.63 (10)°, respectively. The planes of the benzene rings subtend a dihedral angle of 58.88 (9)° and an intramolecular O - H⋯O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. No directional interactions beyond van der Waals packing contacts were identified in the crystal structure.
