Abstract

Crystal structure determination reveals that the unknown cycloaddition product between maleic anhydride, cyclopentadiene, and 1,2-bis(dibromomethyl)benzene has a nona-cyclic centrosymmetric structure. The compound was studied as DMF solvate (1∶2). There is no significant intermolecular interaction between the title molecule and the DMF. Packing is in layers for both molecular species. A possible mechanism of formation of the title compound is discussed.
