  • Abstract
    The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C7H10Br2O4, confirms the meso (2R,6S) configuration. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by pairs of O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds between their terminal carboxyl groups in an R22(8) motif, forming extended chains that propagate parallel to the c axis. Adjacent chains are linked by C=O⋯Br halogen bonds.
