Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C₂₃H₂₈Br₄O₆, confirms that it consists of two hexasubstituted aromatic units linked by a central methylene group. The molecule lies on a crystallographic twofold axis that passes through the methylene bridging atom. Examination of the extended structure reveals the presence of ribbons of molecules held together by C-HO and C-HBr interactions.
