(E)-3-(2-Chlorophenyl)-1-(2-furyl)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)°. Intra­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds generate an S(5)S(5)S(5) ring motif. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are stacked along the b axis and weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed.
