In the title compound, C13H11ClO2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the 2-chlorophenyl and phenol rings is 87.4 (9)°. The methyl hydroxy group lies nearly perpendicular to the plane of its attached benzene ring [O—C—C—C torsion angle = 84.3 (3)°]. The two hydroxy groups lie on the same side of the molecule and are in a slightly twisted gauche conformation [O—C—C—O torsion angle = 77.1 (8)°] to each other. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between nearby methylhydroxy groups form dimers in alternating pairs aligned diagonally along the b axis. A view along the c axis reveals a hexameric aggregate mediated by a ring of six O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generating an R 6 6(12) motif loop.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
