Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (2²RS,2³SR,25RS,26SR)-2³,25,5-trimethyl-2¹-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetyl)-5-aza-2(2,6)-piperidina-1,3(2,5)-difuranacyclohexaphan-24-one.

The title compound, C₂₀H₂₁F₃N₂O₄, features a main twelve-membered difuryl ring with which the furan rings make dihedral angles of 76.14 (5) and 33.81 (5)°. The dihedral angle between the furan rings is 42.55 (7)°. The six-membered nitrogen heterocycle has a twist-boat conformation. In the crystal, pairs of molecules are connected by intermolecular C--H· · ·O interactions, generating an R2 2(14) ring motif. These pairs of molecules form zigzag chains along the aaxis direction by means of C--H· · ·F interactions. Furthermore, C--H· · ·π and C-F· · ·π interactions link the molecules into chains along the b-axis direction, forming sheets parallel to the (001) plane. These sheets are also connected by van der Waals interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
