title: 5-{2-(4-Chloro-phen-yl)-1-[2-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-1-(3,4,5-trimeth-oxy-phen-yl)eth-oxy]eth-yl}-1,2,3-trimeth-oxy-benzene.
abstract: The title compound, C(34)H(36)Cl(2)O(7), is a by-product from the reaction of 4-chloro-benzyl-zinc chloride with 3,4,5-trimeth-oxy-benzaldehyde. In each of the two 1,2-diphenyl-ethyl moieties, the two benzene rings are arranged in a trans conformation and make C(ar)-C-C-C(ar) torsion angles of 163.64 (19) and 174.43 (18)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by van der Waals inter-actions only.
