Methyl (2E)-2-({2-[(2E)-2-benzylidene-3-methoxy-3-oxopropyl]-1,3-dioxoindan-2-yl}methyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enoate

Abstract

In the title compound, C31H26O6, the five-membered ring of the indane unit adopts a slight envelope conformation with the flap atom displaced by 1.38 (14) Å. The mol­ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(9) ring motif. In the crystal, pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules into dimers, generating R 2 2(22) ring motifs. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions.
