Abstract
4-Methoxyphenylbis(5-methyl-2-furyl)methane (I) and tris(5-methyl-2-furyl)methane (II) were investigated by x-ray crystallographic analysis. It was established that the molecules of (I) have a propeller conformation with Cs symmetry, and the furan rings are turned with the oxygen atoms towards the methine hydrogen atom. The molecule of (II) has a different conformation with C2v symmetry; one of the furan rings and the methine C-H bond lie ideally in one plane, and the other two furan rings are arranged symmetrically with the oxygen atoms in relation to this bond and incline toward eclipsing of the exocyclic C-C bond.
