title: 3,5-Dibromo-2,2,6,6,7,7-hexa-methyl-octane-4-one.
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, C14H26Br2O, the central carbonyl group (C3O) is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0021 Å). The Br atoms lie on the same side of the mol-ecule and are approximately syn, with a Br-C⋯C-Br torsion angle of -43.52 (13)°. The crystal structure is devoid of any specific inter-molecular inter-actions.
