In the crystal structure of the title compound, C18H18Br2O2, the two benzene rings of the bridged biphenyl unit are twisted by 38.0 (1)°.
The title compound was synthesized as described previously (Zhang et al. 2003). Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent from a methanol solution at room temperature.
All H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and refined isotropic with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)for all other H atoms using a riding model with C—H = 0.97 Å for methyl and C—H = 0.93 Å for all other H 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. |

Recently we have reported on the synthesis of the title compound 2,10-Dibromo -6-isobutyl-6-methyl-Dibenzo [d,f][1,3] Dioxepine (Zhang et al. 2003). Herein we present the crysal structure of this compound. In the crystal structure of the title compound the two benzene rings of the bridged biphenyl unit are twisted by 38.0 (1)° and the 7-membered ring is in a boat conformation.
