Abstract

The title achiral compound, C35H34O7, crystallizes in the chiral monoclinic space group P21. The molecules are densely packed to form a helical assembly along the crystallographic twofold screw axis via CH...O and CH...p interactions. Interestingly, the unit-translated helical chains are loosely connected via a rather uncommon edge-to-edge PhH...HPh short contact (H...H = 2.33 angstrom).
