Methyl 2,6-bis[(5-bromo-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]benzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H18Br2N4O8, the interplanar angle of the pyrimidine rings is 75.1 (2)°. The central benzene ring is inclined at interplanar angles of 66.5 (2) and 71.9 (2)° with respect to the two pyrimidine rings. In the crystal structure, adjacent molecules are connected into two-molecule-thick arrays parallel to the bc plane via short Br...Br [3.5328 (12) Å] and Br...O [3.206 (3) and 3.301 (4) Å] interactions. A weak intermolecular π–π aromatic stacking interaction [centroid–centroid distance = 3.526 (3) Å] is also observed.
