title: (E)-3-(6-Nitro-benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-1-(2,4,6-trimethoxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.
abstract: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(19)H(17)NO(8), the benzodioxole unit is oriented at a dihedral angle of 61.45 (6)° with respect to the meth-oxy-substituted phenyl ring. The nitro group is not co-planar to the benzene ring to which it is attached, making a dihedral angle of 31.86 (17)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into chains through R(2) (2)(8) ring motifs. The π⋯π contacts between the benzodioxole rings, [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7610 (9), 3.6613 (9) and 3.7975 (9) Å] may further stabilize the structure.
