Crystal structure of (R)-2′-benz­yloxy-[1,1′-binaphthalen]-2-yl tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate

In the title compound, C(28)H(19)F(3)O(4)S, a new 2′-benz­yloxy (R)-BINOL derivative containing a tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate group in the 2-position, the planes of the two naphthyl ring systems (r.m.s. deviations = 0.012 and 0.019 Å) are at an angle of 73.36 (2)°, and the planes of the benzyl ring and the naphthyl ring system bound to the ether O atom are at an angle of 75.67 (4)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100]. The chains are linked via a weak C—F⋯π inter­action and weak π–π inter­actions [shortest inter-centroid distance = 3.9158 (12) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure. The absolute structure of the mol­ecule in the crystal was determined by resonant scattering [Flack parameter = 0.02 (6)].
