Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 4′-cyano-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl 3-(benzyloxy)benzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C27H19O3N, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of the biphenyl unit is 38.14 (2)° and the C—O—C—C torsion angle in the benzyloxy benzene fragment is 179.1 (2)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by weak C—H...O interactions forming S(9) chains propagating along [010]. The most important contributions to the Hirshfeld surface arise from H...H (32.4%) and C...H/H...C (37.0%) contacts.
