3,3′-Dibromo-5,5′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-dimethoxybiphenyl

Abstract

The title compound, C22H28Br2O2, crystallizes in a staggered arrangement to minimize the interactions of its ortho substituents, with a dihedral angle of 84.2 (3)° between the two aromatic rings. Short C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions between methoxy groups result in a one-dimensional polymeric chain of molecules lying parallel to the b axis. One tert-butyl group is disordered equally over two positions.
