The title compound, C23H19NO5, was prepared by esterification of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-1-one with benzoyl chloride in pyridine·The pyrrolizine ring system is approximately planar with a maximum deviation of 0.008 (2) Å from the least-squares plane; the two phenyl rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 64.26 (11) and 70.75 (10)° with respect to the pyrrolizine ring system. Weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonding occurs in the crystal structure.
