title: Ethyl 4-(4-bromo-phen-yl)-6-(4-ethoxy-phen-yl)-2-oxocyclo-hex-3-enecarboxyl-ate.
abstract: The title compound, C(23)H(23)BrO(4), is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of fused heterocycles. In the title mol-ecule, the cyclo-hexene ring has a distorted half-chair conformation. The bromo-phenyl ring and the mean plane of the cyclo-hexene ring form a dihedral angle of 13.8 (3)°, whereas the benzene and cyclo-hexene rings are approximately perpendicular [88.44 (17)°]. There are only weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-molecular inter-actions.
