Abstract: The title compound, C₂₂H₄₂O₂, displays approximate twofold symmetry. The elongated central single bond [1.563 (3) Å] and widened angles [116.00 (16) and 115.80 (16)°] at the methylene C atoms are probably indicators of steric strain. Molecules are linked in inversion-symmetric pairs by a bifurcated weak hydrogen-bond system of the form (C-H)₂O.
