In the title compound, C37H50O5, the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 39.72 (14) and 64.43 (13)° with the benzyl and 3-methoxybenzoate rings, respectively. The is stabilized by intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions involving the central benzene ring and the benzene ring closest to the aliphatic chain.

For general background to 4-(hexadecyloxy)-3-methoxybenzoate, see: Parker et al. (1977); Nessim (2011); Sadashiva & Subba (1975); Castellano et al. (1971). In a three-ring system, when two rings are linked by a unit which preserves conjugative interaction and molecular rigidity, the second linking unit can be more flexible, see: Gray (1976).

A mixture of 4-(hexadecyloxy)-3-methoxybenzoyl chloride (5 mmol) was added to 4-(benzyloxy)phenol (5 ml) in 5 mol of dry dichloromethane. The resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and heated for 10 min at 338 K, then poured into ice-cold hydrochloric acid and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with water and dried. Evaporation of the solvent under vacuum yielded a white solid material which was recrystallized from pure dichloromethane at room temperature. The yield was about 92%. M.p. 358 K. Elemental analysis for C37H50O5 requires C 77.31%, H 8.77%. Found C 76.98%, H 8.35%.
All H atoms were placed at calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H, 0.97 Å for methylene H and 0.96 Å for methyl H. They were refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) =1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H and 1.2Ueq(C) for all other H.

Experimental. CrysAlis PRO, Oxford Diffraction Ltd., Version 1.171.33.55 (release 05–01–2010 CrysAlis171. NET) Empirical absorption correction using spherical harmonics, implemented in SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm. Experimental data is IR (KBr) cm-1; 2912(C—H aromatic stretch), 2870 (C—H aliphatic stretch), 1730 (C=O stretch),1597 (C=C stretch). |
Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Many organic compounds exhibiting liquid crystalline properties contain two phenyl rings with substituents in the para positions. On moving from two-ring mesogens with one linking unit to three-ring mesogens with two linking units, mesophase thermal stabilities are greatly enhanced. In a three-ring system, when two rings are linked by a unit which preserves conjugative interaction and molecular rigidity, the second linking unit can be more flexible (Gray, 1976).
The electron-rich title compound,4-(benzyloxy)phenyl 4-(hexadecyloxy)-3-methoxybenzoate has a long flexible aliphatic chain with a bulky, laterally substituted methoxy group at one end and the other end having a hydrophobic benzyl group. Lateral and terminal substitution lead to a significant change in some of the properties of compounds having medical importance and also in obtaining desired properties in mesogenic materials (Parker et al.,1977; Nessim, 2010; Sadashiva et al.,1975). With this background, we have synthesized (Castellano et al., 1971) the title compound, 4-(benzyloxy)phenyl 4-(hexadecyloxy)-3-methoxybenzoate, and here we report its crystal structure.
The crystal structure of the title compound contains one molecule in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1).The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings are: A/B, B/C and A/C 39.72 (14)°, 64.43 (13)° and 24.72 (13)°, respectively. The alkyl chain and aromatic ring C make a dihedral angle of 5.71 (10)°. The packing of the molecules is stabilized by intermolecular C6—H6···Cg2 and C22—H22B···Cg3 interactions, where Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of rings B and C, respectively (Table 1). The packing of the molecules in the title structure is depicted in Fig. 2.
