Crystal structure of ethyl (6-hy-droxy-1-benzo-furan-3-yl)acetate sesquihydrate.

ABSTRACT: In the title hydrate, C12H12O4·1.5H2O, one of the water mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit is located on a twofold rotation axis. The mol-ecule of the benzo-furan derivative is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.021 Å), with the ester group adopting a fully extended conformation. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the water mol-ecules and the hy-droxy groups generate a centrosymmetric R 6 (6)(12) ring motif. These R 6 (6)(12) rings are fused, forming a one-dimensional motif extending along the c-axis direction.
