Tri­cyclo­[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonane-3,7-diyl bis­(4-methyl­benzene­sulfonate)

The title compound, C₂₃H₂₆O₆S₂ was synthesized by esterification of tri­cyclo­[3.3.1.0^3,7]nonane-3,7-diol with p-toluene­sulfonyl chloride. The mol­ecule has symmetry 2 and is situated on site 4e. The C—C bond length between the quartenary C atoms is 1.598 (2) Å, which is considerably longer than other C—C bonds in the mol­ecule. There are C—H...O inter­actions present in the structure. As a consequence, the packing of the molecule (viewed along [100]) appears as chains where the molecules run parallel, but each chain has the opposite direction to the neighboring ones.
