trans,trans,trans-2,3,5,8-tetrabromo-1,4-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C10H8Br4O2, has been determined at room temperature. The ten-membered tetrahydronaphthalene, ring system is nearly planar, with a total puckering amplitude Q(T) of 0.386 (5) Angstrom. The crystal structure is stabilized by short inter- and intramolecular hydrogen-bond contacts.
