Abstract
The title compound, C10H7ClO2, was synthesized from 1-benzofuran-2-ylethanone by chlorination with thionyl chloride. The benzofuran ring system and the carbonyl group are coplanar. The carbonyl group is in a syn position relative to both the O atom of the benzofuran ring and the Cl atom. C—H⋯O contacts are found between the methylene group and carbonyl O atom. Molecules related by a centre of symmetry are involved in π–π interactions, with distances between the centroids of the furan rings of 3.785 (3) A.
