1,4-Bis(hexyloxy)benzene

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H30O2, contains one half-molecule situated on an inversion center. The alkyl chain adopts a fully extended all-transconformation. The C atoms of the alkyl chain are almost coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.042 (6) Å from the mean plane,which is inclined to the central benzene ring by 6.80 (9)°. The crystal packing exhibits no short intermolecular contacts.
