SYNTHESIS DFT AND HIRSHFELD SURFACE ANALYSIS OF (5R)-5-[(4S)-2,2-DIMETHYL-1,3-DIOXOLAN-4-YL]-3,4- BIS(BENZYLOXY)-2,5-DIHYDROFURAN-2-ONE

In the title compound, C23H24O6, the dihydrofuranone ring is planar and the conformations of the benzyloxy substituents are partially determined by an intramolecular C—H···π(ring) interaction. In the crystal, a combination of three C—H···π(ring) interactions and C—H···O hydrogen bonds form layers parallel to [010]. The layers are then tied together by additional C—H···O hydrogen bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the largest percentage of intermolecular contacts are H···H interactions
