(2S,5S,6R)-5-(4-Methylphenyl)-3-phenyl-4,8-dioxa-3-azatricyclo[7.4.0.02,6]trideca-1(13),9,11-triene-6-carbonitrile

In the title compound, C24H20N2O2, the six-membered pyran ring adopts a half-chair conformation with one C atom deviating from the mean plane of the remaining ring atoms by 0.654 (6) angstrom. The five-membered isoxazole ring adopts an N-envelope conformation with the N atom displaced by 0.742 (5) angstrom from the mean plane formed by the remaining ring atoms. The carbonitrile side chain is almost linear, with a C-C-N angle of 178.6 (5)degrees. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot N interactions, through bifurcated acceptor hydrogen bonds formed between the carbonitrile N atom and two alternate C atoms in the unsubstituted benzene ring. The molecular structure and crystal packing are further stabilized by intramolecular and intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
