8-Fluoro-4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carbalde­hyde

In the title compound, C(10)H(5)FO(3), the non-H atoms of the 8-fluoro­chromone unit are essentially coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0259 Å), with a largest deviation from the mean plane of 0.0660 (12) Å for the chromone carbonyl O atom. The formyl group is twisted with respect to the attached ring [C—C—C—O torsion angles = −11.00 (19) and 170.81 (11)°]. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds along the a axis and [-101], forming corrugated layers parallel to (010). In addition, π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance between the planes of the pyran and benzene rings = 3.519 (2) Å] are observed between these layers.
