1,4-Dibromo-2,5-dibutoxybenzene

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H 20Br2O2, contains one half-molecule located on an inversion centre. The molecule is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation from the best plane of the non-H atoms of 0.054 (2) Å for the O atoms. The but-oxy group adopts a fully extended all-trans conformation. In the crystal, molecules are connected via C - Br⋯O halogen bonds [Br⋯O = 3.2393 (19) Å] into a two-dimensional corrugated network in the bc plane.
