Notes:
The molecular structures of (RS)-1,2-diphenylethyl methacrylate (DPEMA) and (RS)-α-tert-butylbenzyl methacrylate (t-BBMA) were determined by means of X-ray diffraction. Crystals of (RS)-DPEMA are monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 33,341(3), b = 5,916(1), c = 15,911(2) Å, β = 106,42(1)°, and Z = 8. Crystals of (RS)-t-BBMA are also monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 6,028(1), b = 31,009(3), c = 15,207(1) Å, β = 96,780(8)°, and Z = 8. Both structures were solved by the direct method and refined by the block-diagonal least-squares procedure: DPEMA, R = 0,113 for 1 100 observed reflections and t-BBMA, R = 0,081 for 2206 non-zero reflections, respectively. The molecule of DPEMA has an antiperiplanar conformation as to the C=C and C=O double bonds about the C(1)—C(2) bond, a synperiplanar conformation as to the C=O and C—O bond about the C(1)—O(1) bond, and an anticlinal conformation about the O(1)—C(5) bond. One of the two t-BBMA molecules in an asymmetric unit has an antiperiplanar conformation as to the C=C and C=O double bonds about the C(1)—C(2) bond, whereas the other antiperiplanar molecule may contain some synperiplanar conformation. Both molecules have a synperiplanar conformation as to the C=O and C—O bonds about the C(1)—O(1) bond and an anticlinal conformation about the O(1)—C(5).
