✦ Synopsis
The title compound, C 21 H 24 O 8 , crystallizes as colorless needles composed of a racemic mixture that adopts the packing order of columns of alternating enantiomers, all of whose oxirane rings are essentially aligned. Within each column, the carbonyl groups of adjacent enantiomers are oriented in nearly opposite directions. The structure is stabilized by several C-HÁ Á ÁO associations.
