Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 2-(4-Chloro)benzoyl-5-chlorophenoxy ethylacetate

Abstract

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₄Cl₂O₄, was synthesized and the structure was investigated by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with cell parameters a = 14.671(2)Å, b = 7.7600(6)Å, c = 15.766(2)Å, β = 115.704(3)°, Z = 4 and V = 1617.3(3)ų. The structure exhibits a weak intermolecular hydrogen bond of the type C-H…O. The carbonyl bond lengths of ketone and the ester groups are slightly different.
