Popis: In the xanthene moiety of the title compound, the central ring adopts a flattened-boat conformation whereas the cyclo­hexenone rings adopt envelope conformations. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an (20) ring motif.
In the fused ring system of the title compound, C24H27BrO5, the mean plane and maximum deviations of the central pyran ring are 0.0384 (2) and 0.0733 (2) Å, respectively. The cyclo­hexenone rings both adopt envelope conformations with the tetra-substituted C atoms as flap atoms, whereas the central pyran ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The central pyran and phenyl substituent rings are almost perpendicular to each other, making a dihedral angle of 89.71 (2)°. In the crystal, pairs of mol­ecules are linked via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R 2 2(20) ring motif. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (50.6%), O⋯H/H⋯O (22.9%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (11.1%) contacts. Quantum chemical calculations for the frontier mol­ecular orbitals were undertaken to determine the chemical reactivity of the title compound.
