In the title molecule, C37H38O6, the non-fused C atom belonging to the five-membered ring of the fluorene system is connected to two p-phenylene rings, the rings opening up the Caryl–C—Caryl angle to 113.1 (1)°. The four-atom –O–CH2–C(=O)–O– chain between the p-phenylene ring and the tert-butyl group assumes a more regular W-shaped conformation for one substituent [O—C—C—C torsion angle = 171.9 (2)°] but a less regular W-shaped conformation for the other [torsion angle = 147.4 (2)°].
