title: Crystal structure of 5-benzoyl-2,4-di-phenyl-4,5-di-hydro-furan-3-carbo-nitrile.
abstract: In the title compound, C24H17NO2, the carbonyl O atom of the benzoyl group is cis with respect to the furanyl O atom, and the associated O-C-C-O torsion angle is 4.62 (19)°. The puckering of the dihydro-furan ring is close to twisted ((4) T 5), with parameters Q = 0.1856 (16) Å and φ = 313.5 (5)°. Mol-ecules are inter-connected via a C-H⋯N and a C-H⋯O hydrogen bond, leading to layers parallel to the (200) plane and characterized by R 4 (4)(28) and R 4 (4)(36) graph-set motifs. The furan O atom does not participate in inter-molecular hydrogen bonding. The crystal lattice encompasses a solvent-accessible void of 24.7 (8) Å(3).
