Crystal Structure of 4-(1-Hydroxypropyl)- isochroman-1,3-dione

Abstract

The title compound (C12H10O4) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a = 7.367(3), b = 8.1188(3), c = 9.549(5) Å, α = 74.034(1)°, β = 84.374(2)°, γ = 64.581(3)°, Z = 2, and dcalc = 1.462 g cm−3. It exhibits a strong intramolecular O-H··· O hydrogen bond and exists as the exocyclic enolic tautomer as it has been observed in solution. The structure is stabilized by C-H···π, C-O···π and π-π stacking interactions between benzene and pyran rings.
