Abstract

In the title compound, C10H12O2, the substituted benzene ring is inclined at a dihedral angle of 75.9 (1)° to the almost planar butan-2-one substituent (r.m.s. deviation = 0.02 Å). In the crystal, inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along the a axis.

Comment

The title compound, known as raspberry ketone, was originally extracted from raspberry and possesses the flavour of raspberries (Larsen & Poll 1990). However, the content of raspberry ketone in raspberry is very low (Tang, 2006).

The asymmetric unit of (I) contains one independent molecule (Fig. 1). The bond lengths and angles are normal and similar to those in a related structure (Kosjek et al., 2003; Smith, 1996). The hydroxy substituted C1···C6 benzene ring is inclined at a dihedral angle of 75.9 (1)° from the planar C7···C10(O2) butan-2-one substituent (rms deviation 0.02Å). In the crystal structure, a one-dimensional network structure (Fig. 2) is formed by intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1).

Experimental

The title compound was synthesized according to a reported procedure from the corresponding p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (Smith, 1996). After recrystallisation from ethanol, the title compound was dissolved in dilute aqeous NaOH. Hydrochloric acid 1:1 (v/v) was slowly added to adjust to pH = 5. The mixture was left for a week after which colourless block-like crystals were obtained.

Refinement

All the carbon-bounded hydrogen atoms were located at their ideal positions with the C—H=0.93 Å,C—H=0.96 Å, C—H=0.97 Å, and Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C). The hydrogen atom bonded to the oxygen atom was located from the difference map and refined with the restraints of O—H = 0.91 (5)Å and Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(O).

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
