title: 2,5-Di-bromo-3,6-dimeth-oxycyclo-hexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione.
abstract: In the structure of the title compound, C8H6Br2O4, the complete mol-ecule is generated by the application of a centre of inversion. The mol-ecule is planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms but methyl C = 0.0358 Å), with only the methyl groups being deviated from the plane [by ±0.321 (4) Å]. In the crystal packing, Br⋯O(methoxy) halogen bonds [3.2407 (19) Å] connect molecules into supramolecular layers parallel to (101).
