3-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-1,5-di-2-furylpentane-1,5-dione

In the title compound, C(19)H(14)Cl(2)O(4), intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bonds generate S(6) and S(5) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions between symmetry-related molecules involving two methylene groups and an O atom as a bifurcated acceptor generate an R(2)(1)(6) ring motif. In the molecule, one of the furan rings is rotationally disordered by approximately 180 degrees about the single C-C bond to which it is attached; the refined site-occupancy factors are 0.505 (7) and 0.495 (7). The major component of the disordered furan ring and the benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 88.8 (4)degrees. The dihedral angle between the major disorder component and the other furan ring is 81.9 (4)degrees. In addition, the crystal structure is stabilized by further intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O (x2) hydrogen bonds and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
