The title compound, C17H27BrO5, DEB, is a derivative of artemisinin which is used in malara therapy. The OR-group at C12 is cis to the CH3-group at C11 and axially oriented on ring D which has a chair conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by several weak intermolecular C—H...O interactions, which combine to form a C—H—O bonded network parallel to (001).
