4,6-Di-tert-butyl-2,8-dimethoxydibenzo[b,d]furan

Abstract

In the title compound, C22H28O3, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 3.47 (13)° and the five-membered furan ring is essentially planar with a largest deviation of 0.0052 (14) Å. The Csp2—Csp2 bond length between the two benzene rings [1.443 (3) Å] is considerably shorter than those between the benzene and tertiary C atoms [1.538 (3) and 1.530 (3) Å], which are sp2–sp3 hybridized. C—H...π interactions involving the furan and benzene rings are found in the crystal structure.
