✦ Synopsis

In dimethyl 3,3 0 -[6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(oxy)]bis(4-benzyloxy-5-methoxybenzoate), C 36 H 33 N 3 O 11 , a new triazine derivative, the benzyloxy groups adopt an interesting conformation in which they are positioned above and below the triazine ring 'core' of the molecule to form an intramolecular triple-decker sandwich. The ester carbonyl O atoms of adjacent molecules in the crystal structure participate in non-conventional (alkyl)C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds [averaging 2.45 (1)A ˚] about an inversion centre to give a weakly hydrogen-bonded dimer.
