Abstract

The fused-ring system in the title compound [systematic name: 2-(2-oxo-2H-benzo[h]chromen-4-yl)acetic acid], C15H10O4, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å) and the Car—C—C=O (ar = aromatic) torsion angle for the side chain is −134.4 (3)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating [100] C(8) chains, where the acceptor atom is the exocyclic O atom of the fused-ring system. The packing is consolidated by a very weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bond to the same acceptor atom. Together, these inter­actions lead to undulating (001) layers in the crystal.

S1. Experimental

A mixture of citric acid 2 (1 mol) and conc. sulfuric acid (32 ml) was stirred for half an hour, then the temperature was slowly raised during an interval of 10–15 min and as soon as the evolution of gas slackened, the flask was removed from the bath, allowed to stand for 15 min till the reaction mixture became clear and free from carbon monoxide bubbles; this was then cooled to 10°C. To this solution, 1-naphthol (1 mol) was added at 10°C, drop wise. After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. The reaction mixture was then poured onto crushed ice, the separated solid was filtered and dissolved in saturated sodium bicarbonate solution which on acidification gave the title compound (Laskowski et al. 1950). Colourless blocks were recrystallised from acetic acid solution at room temperature.

S2. Refinement

All the H atoms in (I) were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with bond lengths 0.97 \%A (for methylene), 0.96 \%A (for methyl and 0.86 \%A (for amine). The U\ĩso\~(H) = 1.5U\~eq\~(C) for methyl and U\ĩso\~(H) = 1.2U\~eq\~(C) for all other carbon bound H atoms.

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.
