Methyl 2,6-bis-[(5-bromo-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]benzoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C<inf>20</inf>H<inf>18</inf>Br<inf>2</inf>N <inf>4</inf>O<inf>8</inf>, the inter-planar angle of the pyrimidine rings is 75.1 (2)°. The central benzene ring is inclined at inter-planar angles of 66.5 (2) and 71.9 (2)° with respect to the two pyrimidine rings. In the crystal structure, adjacent molecules are connected into two-molecule-thick arrays parallel to the bc plane via short Br?Br [3.5328 (12) Å] and Br?O [3.206 (3) and 3.301 (4) Å] inter-actions. A weak inter-molecular ?-? aromatic stacking inter-action [centroid-centroid distance = 3.526 (3) Å] is also observed.
