1,3,3,4,4-Pentaphenyl-β-lactam
Abstract
In the title compound, C33H25NO, the β-lactam is planar in the two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The phenyl ring attached at the N atom is coplanar with the β-lactam, while the orientations of the two phenyl rings attached at each of the two C atoms of the β-lactam are determined by the Csp3 nature of these atoms.
