(±)-trans-5-Benzoyl-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-3-carbonitrile

Abstract

The furan ring in the title compound, C26H18N2O2, is twisted about the C(H)—C(H) bond. The molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H...O interaction, which generates an S(6) ring motif. The presence of N—H...N hydrogen bonds leads to inversion dimers, which are stabilized in the crystal packing by C—H...O and C—H...π interactions, forming layers that stack along the a axis.
