Butane-1,4-diyl bis­(bromo­acetate)

The title compound, C₈H₁₂Br₂O₄, has crystallographic inversion symmetry. Mol­ecules adopt a pleated conformation, the OCH₂-CH₂CH₂ torsion angles of the butane­diol residue being close to 60 and -60°. The mol­ecular packing is stabilized by a network of weak inter­molecular hydrogen bonds between the methyl­ene and the carbonyl groups of the bromo­acetate units. Each mol­ecule inter­acts with its four closest neighbours.
