Ethyl 3-(10-bromo-anthracen-9-yl)-5-methyl-1,2-oxazole-4-carboxyl-ate.

ABSTRACT

In the title compound, C21H16BrNO3, the mean planes of the anthracene tricycle and isoxazole ring are inclined to each other at a dihedral angle of 72.12 (7)°. The carb-oxy group is slightly out of the isoxazole mean plane, with a maximum deviation of 0.070 (5) Šfor the carbonyl O atom. In the crystal, pairs of weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into dimers, and weak C-H⋯N inter-actions further link these dimers into corrugated layers parallel to the bc plane.
