Dimethyl 2-(2,4,6-trimethoxybenzyl)malonate

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H20O7, the benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 69.17 (5) and 80.81 (4)° with the two side chains of malonate. The two malonate side chains comprising C/C/O/C atoms are oriented at right angles [86.26 (6)°] with respect to each other. In the crystal structure, the crystal packing is stabilized by weak non-classical intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into an infinite network.
