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

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H18Br2N 4O8, 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) ] and Br?O [3.206 (3) and 3.301 (4) ] inter-actions. A weak inter-molecular ?-? aromatic stacking inter-action [centroid-centroid distance = 3.526 (3) ] is also observed.
