Diethyl 5-bromo-4,7-dimethoxyindan-2,2-dicarboxylate

P. Hammershøj and J. B. Christensen

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₇H₂₁BrO₆, was prepared by nucleophilic alkylation of 1-bromo-3,4-bis(bromomethyl)-2,5-dimethoxybenzene. It crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The bond lengths and angles are generally within the normal ranges. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds and weak C-H(arene) interactions.
