[2-Benzyl-3-(naphthalen-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1,2-oxazole-4,5-diyl]bis(phenylmethanone)

Abstract

In the title compound, C34H25NO3, the five-membered heterocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation with the N atom as the flap. The plane through the four basal atoms of this ring makes dihedral angles of 69.78 (13), 53.15 (12) and 86.42 (13)°, respectively, with the benzene rings of the benzyl group and the two phenylmethanone groups at the 4 and 5 positions, and of 78.60 (11)° with the naphthalenyl system. In the crystal, the molecules are linked through C—H...O and C—H...π contacts into layers parallel to (101).
