2-(4-PENTANOYLOXYPHENYL)-6-PENTANOYLOXYBENZOXAZOLE

In 2-[4-(pentanoyloxy)phenyl]benzoxazol-6-yl pentanoate, C23H25NO5, th e phenyl and benzoxazole rings are not strictly coplanar, the dihedral angle between the corresponding least-squares planes being 10.8 (6)-d egrees. A torsion angle of the gauche type is present in the aliphatic tail bonded to the benzo ring. Molecules of the title compound are pa cked in layers piled up along a. The lateral packing of the molecules shows face-to-face and face-to-edge contacts among the aromatic rings.
