Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(58)H(96)N(2)O(4), contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. All cyclohexane rings are in chair conformations, while the furan ring is in an envelope conformation in one mol-ecule and a twist conformation in the other. Two acetaldehyde and one isobutane groups are disordered over two orientations with refined site occupancies of 0.940 (4):0.060 (4) and 0.791 (7):0.209 (7), respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are stacked along the a axis through van der Waals inter-actions.
