The title molecule, C
14H
14O
6, is based on a benzene core di-substituted by allyl carbonate groups in the
para positions. The molecule is placed on an inversion centre, and the substituents are twisted with respect to the central benzene ring plane. The crystal structure does not include significant intermolecular interactions other than weak C—H

O contacts between CH groups in the benzene ring and carbonate O atoms.

Special details top
Refinement. Allyl H atoms (H10a and H10b) were refined with free
coordinates, and other H atoms were placed on calculated positions. All H
atoms were refined with isotropic displacements, calculated as
Uiso(H) = 1.2×Ueq(carrier C atom). |
