Abstract
The title compound crystallises with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit; monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 10.063(8), b = 23.015(15) and c = 12.938(10) Angstrom; beta = 111.42(6)degrees V = 2789(4) Angstrom(3) and Z = 8. Steric compression between the two meth yl groups and the adjacent bay region hydrogens distorts the molecules from planarity and imparts handedness. The space group is centrosymme tric and the lattice is therefore racemic.
