Methyl 11-hydroxy-9-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-3-phenoxyazetidin-2-yl]-18-oxo-10-oxa-2-azapentacyclo[9.7.0.01,8.02,6.012,17]octadeca-12(17),13,15-triene-8-carboxylate

In the title compound, C34H32N2O8, one of the pyrrolidine rings in the pyrrolizidine ring system adopts a twist conformation, whereas the other ring adopts an envelope conformation (C atom as flap). The five-membered ring in the indene ring system and the fused furan ring also adopt envelope conformations (C and O atoms as flaps, respectively). The β-lactam ring makes dihedral angles of 23.41 (2) and 25.98 (2)°, respectively, with the attached methoxyphenyl and phenoxy rings. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond, generating an S(5) motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked into C(12) chains running along the a axis by C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The structure is further consolidated by weak intermolecular C—H...π and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7987 (14) Å]
