[(1R*,3S*,4S*)-3-(2-Hy­droxy­benzo­yl)-1,2,3,4-tetra­hydro-1,4-ep­oxy­naphthalen-1-yl]methyl 4-nitro­benzoate

The relative stereo- and regiochemistry of the racemic title compound, C(25)H(19)NO(7), were established from the crystal structure. The fused benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 77.3 (1) and 60.3 (1)° with the hy­droxy-substituted benzene ring and the nitro-substituted benzene ring, respectively. The dihedral angle between the hy­droxy-substituted benzene ring and the nitro-substituted benzene ring is 76.4 (1)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules, forming layers parallel to (100). Within these layers, there are weak π–π stacking inter­actions with a ring centroid–ring centroid distance of 3.555 (1) Å. [Image: see text]
