Abstract: The title compound, C₁₈H₁₈O₆, was prepared by the reaction of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and 1,2-dibromoethane. There are one and a half molecules in the asymmetric unit; one has C₁ molecular symmetry and the other C_i, with the centre of inversion at the mid-point of the aliphatic C-C bond. The ethylenedioxy groups are coplanar with the aromatic systems of the vanillin groups.
