The structure of 2-chloro-1-(3-hy-droxy-phen-yl)ethanone, C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>7</sub>ClO<sub>2</sub>, an α-halo-ketone is described. The mol-ecule is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0164 Å) and in the crystal, inversion-symmetric dimers are formed as a result of pairs of strong O-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A brief comparison is made with structurally related compounds deposited in the CSD. In addition, the synthesis and some spectroscopic details are presented. ...[more]
