In the crystal structure of the title compound, C15H12Br2O2, which was synthesized from 2,10-dibromo-2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl and 2,2-dimethoxypropane, the aromatic rings are twisted by 35 (1)°. The heterocyclic ring exhibits a twisted conformation.
The 2,10-dibro-dimethyl-dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine was dissolved in ethanol.The solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for several day, white block-shaped crystal was obtained with slow volative solvent.
C-bound H atoms were geometrically positioned with C—H = 0.97 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl and C—H = 0.93 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for other carbon atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine derivatives is very important in pharmaceutical applications (Dean, 1963). In fact it has been found that such a structure, which is probably related to their pharmacological activiry, is present in many biologically active natural products. Introducing functional group Br on benzene ring of dibenzo[d,f][1,3] dioxepine can expand the field of their application, such as photoluminescence, electro-luminescence devices and nonlinear optics (. We have reported the synthesis of the 2,10-dibro-dimethyl- dibenzo[d,f][1,3]dioxepine (Zhang et al., 2003).Herein we present the crysal structure of the title compound.
