Crystal structure of 2-[chloro(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione

Abstract

In the title compound, C23H25ClO4, the cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation with the 4-methoxyphenyl substituent in an axial position and the chloro(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl substituent in an equatorial position. The packing features inversion dimers formed by pairs of C—H...O contacts and strands along [100] and [010] established by further C—H...O and C—H...Cl contacts, respectively.
