Abstract
Abstract The title compound 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzo[d]oxazole-6-carbaldehyde (1a) was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1a possesses intramolecular C–H···O and O–H···N hydrogen bonds, which generate S(5) and S(6) rings, respectively. Intermolecular π–π stacking is observed in the crystal structure, which links a pair of molecules into a cyclic centrosymmetric dimer. The crystal structure is further stabilized by three different intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into a continuous three-dimensional framework. Its spectroscopic properties and complementary density functional theory (DFT) calculations are also reported.
