title: Methyl (2E)-2-({2-[(2E)-2-benzyl-idene-3-meth-oxy-3-oxoprop-yl]-1,3-dioxoindan-2-yl}meth-yl)-3-phenyl-prop-2-enoate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(31)H(26)O(6), the five-membered ring of the indane unit adopts a slight envelope conformation with the flap atom displaced by 1.38 (14) Å. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular 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 mol-ecules into dimers, generating R(2) (2)(22) ring motifs. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions.
