3, the anthracene mean plane forms dihedral angles of 67.43 (2) and 15.75 (3)° with the isoxazole and benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal structure, C—H

π interactions link molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, which are further linked by weak intermolecular C—H

N hydrogen bonds into ribbons propagating in the [110] direction.

The title compound was synthesized according to the procedure of Han et
al. (2003) in 32% isolated yield. Crystals of (I) suitable for
X-ray data
collection were obtained by slow evaporation of a methaoland DMF solution in
ratio of 50:1 at 298 K.
All H atoms bonded to C atoms were initially located in difference Fourier maps
and then constrained to their ideal geometry positions
(C–H = 0.93-0.97 Å),
and refined as riding with Uĩso~(H) = 1.2U~eq~(C).

Special details top
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. |

Isoxazole and isoxazole derivatives are important pharmaceutical agents (De Luca et al., 2001), so they are widely investigated (Yamamoto et al., 2007; Reuman et al., 2008). As a part of our investigation into isoxazole derivatives, we report here the structure of the title compound (I).
In (I) (Fig. 1), the anthracene mean plane forms the dihedral angles of 67.43 (2)° and 15.75 (3)° with the isoxazole and benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal, C—H···π interactions (Table 1) link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, which are further linked by the weak intermolecular C—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into ribbons propagated in direction [110]. The porous crystal packing contains voids of 171 Å3.
