title: 2-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)chromen-4-one.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(9)ClO(2), is a synthetic flavonoid obtained by the cyclization of 3-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-1-(2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one. The 4-chloro-phenyl ring is twisted at an angle of 11.54° with respect to the chromen-4-one skeleton. In the crystal, pairs of mol-ecules are inter-connected by weak Cl⋯Cl inter-actions [3.3089 (10) Å] forming dimmers which are further peripherally connected through inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
