Structural study and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (Z)-4-(2-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)-3-phenyl-isoxazol-5(4H)-one. 2021
The title compound, C17H13NO3, adopts a Z configuration about the C=C bond. The isoxazole and meth-oxy-benzyl-idene rings are almost coplanar with a dihedral angle of 9.63 (7)° between them. In contrast, the phenyl substituent is twisted significantly out of the plane of the oxazole ring, with the two rings inclined to each other by 46.22 (4)°. The crystal structure features C-H⋯O, C-H⋯N and C-H⋯π hydrogen bonds and π-π contacts. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces points to the importance of H⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and H⋯O/O⋯H contacts. The included surface areas of the title compound were compared to those of the isomeric structure (Z)-4-(4-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)-3-phenyl-isoxazol-5(4H)-one [Zhang et al. (2015 ▸). CrystEngComm, 17, 7316-7322].
