Abstract
The title compound, Ci9Hi7N05, obtained by ether bond formation between the reagents, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2i/c. The compound is non planar, subtending a dihedral angle of 82.38 (4) between the plane of hydroxy isophthalate-based ester and that of the benzonitrile moiety. The molecule is bent at the ether linkage, with a Ca,' 0 C- - aryl bond angle of 116.74 (11). In the crystal, molecules are linked by C H" " "0 hydrogen bonds and other weak interactions forming a supramolecular framework. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed to generate two-dimensional fingerprint plots, which reveal the type of interactions occurring in the vicinity of the molecule.
