title: (±)-trans-5-Benzoyl-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-furan-3-carbonitrile.
abstract: The furan ring in the title compound, C(26)H(18)N(2)O(2), is twisted about the C(H)-C(H) bond. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by an intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action, which generates an S(6) ring motif. The presence of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds leads to inversion dimers, which are stabilized in the crystal packing by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming layers that stack along the a axis.
