title: 1-Benzyl-2,5-dioxopyrrolidine-3,4-diyl diacetate.
abstract: The pyrrolidine-2,5-dione ring in the title compound, C(15)H(15)NO(6), is in a twisted conformation with the acetyl C atoms projecting to opposite sides of the ring. The acetyl groups lie to opposite sides of the five-membered ring. The benzene ring is roughly perpendicular to the heterocyclic ring, forming a dihedral angle of 76.57 (14)° with it. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected through a network of C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
