(1R,2S,5R)-5-Methyl-2-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)propan-2-yl]cyclohexyl 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-1-carboxylate: crystal structure and Hirshfeld analysis

In the title compound, C28H34N2O5, the adjacent ester and nitrobenzene substituents are connected via an intramolecular methylene-C-H center dot center dot center dot pi (nitrobenzene) interaction and the molecule approximates to a U-shape. The dihydropyrrole ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 A degrees) is almost co-planar with the carboxylate residue [C-m-N-C1-O-c (m = methine, c = carboxyl) torsion angle = 1.8 (4)degrees] but is orthogonal to the 4-methoxybenzene ring [dihedral angle = 84.34 (17) degrees]. In the crystal, methylene-C-H center dot center dot center dot O(carbonyl) interactions lead to linear supramolecular chains along the b-axis direction, which pack without directional interactions between them. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface points to the importance of weak interatomic H center dot center dot center dot H, O center dot center dot center dot H/H center dot center dot center dot O and C center dot center dot center dot H/H center dot center dot center dot C contacts in the crystal.
