Abstract
The molecule of the title compound, C20H20O2, displays crystallographic twofold symmetry. The bridgehead bond lengths are 1.584 (3) and 1.590 (3) Å. There is slight distortion at one bridgehead C atom [C2—C3—C4 124.71 (13)° in standard cyclophane numbering]. The molecules are linked by a weak hydrogen bond of the form C—H⋯O to form a layer structure.
