Abstract
The molecular structure of diphenyl-2-pyridylmethyl methacrylate has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21⁄n, a=10.334(2), b=22.093(3), c=8.415(1) A, β=110.92(2)°, and Z=4. The structure was established by the direct method, and refined by the block-diagonal least-squares procedure to R=0.052 (Rw=0.064) for 1702 observed reflections. The molecule has an antiperiplanar-synperiplanar conformation. One of the two phenyl groups attached to the C(5) atom is trans, and the other phenyl and 2-pyridyl groups are gauche to the C(1).
