Abstract
The synthesis, crystal structure and spectroscopic analysis of (E)-1-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (C17H13ClO3), a substituted chalcone, are described. The overall geometry of the molecule is largely planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.1742 Å), but slightly kinked, leading to a dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings at either side of the molecule of 8.31 (9)°. In the crystal, only weak interactions determine the packing motifs. These include C - H⋯O and C - H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and π-π overlap of aromatic rings.
