Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, C₂₆H₂₆Br₂O₆, the cyclohexane ring is in a chair conformation, while the five-membered and 1,3-dioxane rings both adopt envelope conformations. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 77.21 (3)°. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C-HO interactions link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers, forming R₂²(14) ring motifs. One of the Br atoms, the methyl C and H atoms, and the C atom bonded to the methyl group of the five-membered ring are disordered over two positions. The Br atoms were refined with occupancies of 0.51 (4) and 0.49 (4), while the C and H atoms were refined with occupancies of 0.320 (18) and 0.680 (18).
