Abstract
The title compound, C17H18N2O4, is the methyl ester of the adduct of intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction between maleic anhydride and 1-(2-furyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]diazepine. The molecule comprises a fused pentacyclic system containing four five-membered rings (viz. pyrrole, 2-pyrrolidinone, tetrahydrofuran and dihydrofuran) and one seven-membered ring (1,4-diazepane). The pyrrole ring is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å) while the 2-pyrrolidinone, tetrahydrofuran and dihydrofuran five-membered rings have the usual envelope conformations. The central seven-membered diazepane ring adopts a boat conformation. In the crystal, molecules are bound by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions into zigzag chains propagating in [010]. In the crystal packing, the chains are stacked along the a axis.
