Crystal structure of (±)-(1SR,5SR,6SR,7SR,10SR,11SR,13SR)-13-benz­yloxy-7-meth­oxy­meth­oxy-11,15,18,18-tetra­methyl-3-oxo-2,4-dioxa­tetra­cyclo­[12.3.1.0(1,5).0(6,11)]octa­deca-14,16-dien-10-yl benzoate

In the title compound, C(36)H(42)O(8), the dioxolane ring adopts a twist conformation; the two adjacent C atoms deviate alternately from the mean plane of other atoms by −0.287 (5) and 0.174 (5) Å. The cyclo­hexane, cyclo­hexa­diene and central cyclo­octane rings show chair, half-chair and boat–chair forms, respectively. As a result of the strained ring system, the tetra­subsituted olefin in the cyclo­hexa­diene is skewed from an ideal planar structure. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into a sheet parallel to (100). The sheets are further linked by other weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional network.
