Abstract:
Herein, the synthesis and crystal structure of 7-hy-droxy-3-(2-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-2-tri-fluoro-meth-yl-4H-chromen-4-one, C17H11F3O4, are reported. This isoflavone is used as a starting material in the preparation an array of potent and competitive FPR antagonists. The pyran ring significantly deviates from planarity and the dihedral angle between the benzo-pyran mean plane and that of the exocyclic benzene ring is 88.18 (4)°. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules into C(8) chains propagating in the [010] direction.
