(2R,3R)-1-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)-2-[(S)-2-nitro-1-phenyl-eth-yl]-3-phenyl-pentan-1-one.
The title compound, C(25)H(24)ClNO(3), has three contiguous chiral centres. The absolute structure was determined by anomalous dispersion. The chloro-benzene ring is inclined to the two phenyl rings by 14.98 (9) and 59.05 (9)°. The two phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 49.51 (10)°. In the crystal, neighbouring mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [010]. There is also a C-H⋯π inter-action present that leads to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
