Crystal structure of (E)-furan-2-carbaldehydeO-benzoyloxime

Abstract

In the title compound, C 12 H 9 NO 3 , the benzoate and furan rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 11.68 (9) . The twist angle between the -COO group and the benzene ring is only 2.79 (16) . In the crystal, molecules are linked by C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [100]. The molecules stack in a herringbone fashion and inversion-related chains are linked by offset -interactions [intercentroid distance = 3.931 (1) Å ], forming ribbons propagating along the a-axis direction.
