6-Chloro-4-(4-methyl-phen-oxy-meth-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one.

ABSTRACT

In the title compound, C(17)H(13)ClO(3), the coumarin and phen-oxy moieties are essentially co-planar, making a dihedral angle of 1.99 (7)°. The phen-oxy moiety is oriented anti-periplanar 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 inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
