Triphenyl-methyl benzoate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(26)H(20)O(2), has long been known, but was not structurally characterized until now. It adopts the Z conformation and the atoms comprising the ester linkage are essentially coplanar (r.m.s. deviation of 0.0234 Å). The acyl C-O bond length of 1.470 (2) Å falls within the normal range seen for esters of tertiary alcohols and is below the value of 1.496 Å found in tri-tert-butyl-methyl 4-nitro-benzoate.
