In the title compound, C34H30O12P2, which was synthesized via the esterification of dimethyl 2,5-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate with diphenyl chlorophosphate, the molecule has crystallographic inversion symmetry. The dihedral angles between the plane of the cyclohexa-1,4-diene ring and those of the two benzene rings of the substituent phosphate groups are 41.0 (1) and 89.5 (1)°, while that with the ester group is 3.1 (3)°. In the crystal, only weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present.
Keywords: crystal structure; cyclohexa-1,4-diene; C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound was synthesized using the basic procedure of Chaignaud et al. (2008) (Fig. 2), as follows: A solution of LiHMDS (1 M in THF, 7.9 mL) in THF (20 mL) was cooled to -78 °C under nitrogen. Subsequently, a mixture of dimethyl 2,5-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (3.19 mmol), diphenyl chlorophosphate (6.67 mmol) and HMPA (8.90 mmol) in anhydrous THF (5 mL) were added dropwise over 5 min. The mixture was stirred at -78 °C for 1h under nitrogen and after completion of the reaction, the mixture was diluted with water (30 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 mL), dried with anhydrous MgSO4 and filtered. Subsequently, the product obtained by evaporation of the solvent was recrystallized from ethyl acetate giving a white solid in 10% yield (m.p. 118–120 °C).
H atoms were were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (aromatic) or 1.5Ueq(C) (methyl).

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. |

1,4-Cyclohexadiene is a useful and fundamental structural motif found in a wide range of organic materials and biologically active molecules (El-Rayyes & Al-Hajjar, 1978). The synthetic routes for the preparation of derivatives of this parent compound have been reported (Chaignaud et al., 2008) but their crystal structures were not described.
The title compound, C34H30O12P2, was synthesized by the esterification of dimethyl 2,5-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate with diphenyl chlorophosphate using the reported procedure of Chaignaud et al. (2008) and the structure is reported herein.
The molecule of the title compound has crystallographic inversion symmetry (Fig. 1), with dihedral angles between the cyclohexa-1,4-diene ring and the two benzene rings of the substituent phosphate group of 41.0 (1) [C1–C6] and 89.5 (1)° [C7–C12]. The ester group is essentially coplanar with the cyclohexadiene group [dihedral angle = 3.1 (3)°]. In the crystal, only weak intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds are present (Table 1).
