title: 1-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)-4,4-dimethyl-pent-1-en-3-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C(13)H(15)ClO, the carbonyl and ethenyl groups are not coplanar with benzene ring system, forming dihedral angles of 35.37 (5) and 36.27 (11)°, respectively. The mol-ecules are packed in an offset face-to-face arrangement showing π-π stacking inter-actions involving the benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.586 (4) Å].
