3,4-Dibromo-2,2,5,5-tetraphenyl-2,5-dihydrofuran

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C28H20Br2O, was solved in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The phenyl rings are nearly planar and inclined at angles of 67.7 (1), 68.8 (1), 79.3 (1) and 62.3 (1)° to the plane of the 2,5-dihydrofuran ring. The crystal structure features C—H...π and Br...Br interactions, which connect the molecules to a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
