The title compound, C30H16N4O4, reveals crystallographic and molecular symmetry and accordingly the comprises one half-molecule. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two geminal benzoxazole rings is 74.39 (5)°. The packing features weak C—H⋯N and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.652 (1) Å].

A solution of bis(2-benzoxazolyl)methane (0.075 g, 0.30 mmol) in THF (20 mL) at 253 K was treated with n-BuLi in n-hexane (0.25 mL, 1.4 M, 0.35 mmol) and stirred for 1 h. The temperature was then slowly raised to room temperature. A suspension of an excess of S8 (ca 2 mol equivalents) in 20 mL of THF was added to the mixture at 253 K and stirred for 1 h. After treating the resulting mixture with a solution of AuCl(PPh3) (0.15 g, 0.33 mmol) (Bruce et al., 1989) in THF (20 mL), the mixture was allowed to slowly warm to ambient temperature while stirring. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Crystallisation of a dichloromethane solution of the residue layered with n-heptane at 253 K afforded light yellow crystals. Single crystal X-ray studies revealed that the unexpected oxidative dimerisation of bis(2-benzoxazolyl)methane had occurred to yield the title compound.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'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 > σ(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. |

The title compound is reminiscent of the crystal structure of 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)ethene chloroform solvate (Hagos et al., 2010) and was isolated in a similar way. The asymmetric unit consists of half of the molecule with the other part being generated by an inversion centre (Fig. 1). The conformation of the molecule resembles that of the previous compound with a dihedral angle between the planes of the benzoxazole rings attached to the same carbon of 74.39 (5)°, whereas the corresponding value in the benzothiazole derivative was 85.74 (4)°. The bond length of 1.356 (3) Å for C1—C1i (symmetry operation (i): -x,1 - y,1 - z) is almost identical to that in the earlier described structure (1.359 (3) Å). The bond lengths for the benzoxazole rings are comparable with previously reported values (Jian et al., 2007; Lokaj et al., 1997; Muir et al., 1992). The packing is dominated by weak C—H···N (Table 1) and π–π interactions. The hydrogen bonds between C7—H7···N12 and C17—H17···N3 generate corrugated layers which are stabilised by π-π stacking interactions of the oxazole and phenyl rings with a distance of 3.652 (1) Å between the centroids of these rings (symmetry operation: -x,1 - y,2 - z) and ca. 1.41 Å slippage. In addition to this, N12 acts as a bifurcated hydrogen bond acceptor and interlinks the layers through C14—H14···N12 weak interaction to form a three-dimensional assembly (Fig. 2).
