title: {2-[(Benzo-yloxy)meth-yl]-1-oxo-3H-pyrrolizin-2-yl}methyl benzoate.
abstract: The title compound, C(23)H(19)NO(5), was prepared by esterification of 2,2-bis-(hy-droxy-meth-yl)-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 inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding occurs in the crystal structure.
