Abstract:
The title compound, C20H16O7, contains a cis-fused γ-lactone tetra-hydro-furan ring system functionalized with two benzo-yloxy groups. Both rings adopt an envelope conformation. The mol-ecule assumes an elongated shape and exibits non-crystallographic C 2 symmetry. The benzo-yloxy groups are almost planar [maximum deviations of 0.0491 (15) and 0.0336 (17) Å for the O atoms] and their mean planes are inclined to one another by 16.51 (4)°. The crystal packing features weak C-H⋯O inter-actions. The aryl groups of adjacent mol-ecules are parallel shifted with face-to-face contacts and a shortest inter-molecular C⋯C distance of 3.482 (4) Å.
