trans-Ethylenedi-p-phenylene diacetate

The centrosymmetric title compound, C18H26O4, was prepared in high yield from 4-acetoxystyrene via Ru-catalysed homo-olefin metathesis. Exclusive formation of the E-configurated isomer was observed. In the crystal, a strong C—H...π intermolecular interaction links the mole...
