Abstract: The title compound, C₂₀H₂₂O₆, comprises two o-vanillin subunits covalently linked to a central butyl chain; the molecule lies on an inversion center. The dihedral angle between the bridging butyl group and the plane through the aromatic ring is 7.13 (14)°, indicating the overall planarity of the molecule. The molecules are linked by weak C-HO hydrogen bonds.
