Butane-1,4-diyl bis(chloroacetate).
The title compound, C(8)H(12)Cl(2)O(4), lies about an inversion centre. The molecular conformation is characterized by a tgt-gt conformation for the butanedioxy moiety and a trans conformation for the ClCH(2)-C(=O)O bond. The molecular packing is stabilized by a network of weak CH(2)...O=C intermolecular hydrogen bonds, where each molecule interacts with its four closest neighbours.
