title: 1,5-Anhydro-2-de-oxy-1,2-C-dichloro-methyl-ene-3,4,6-tri-O-(4-meth-oxy-benz-yl)-d-glycero-d-gulo-hexitol.
abstract: The pyranosyl ring in the title compound, C(31)H(34)Cl(2)O(7), adopts a twist-boat conformation. The 4-meth-oxy-benzyl groups are located in equatorial positions with the meth-oxy groups nearly coplanar with their respective rings [dihedral angles of 0.2 (3) and 9.4 (2)°]. The aromatic rings adopt orientations enabling them to participate in C-H⋯π inter-actions with neighboring meth-oxy groups. The crystal structure is additionally stabilized by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions.
