title: (E)-Methyl 3-(3,4-dimeth-oxy-phen-yl)-2-[(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)meth-yl]acrylate.
abstract: In the title compound, C(21)H(19)NO(6), the isoindole ring system is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.019 (2) Å for the N atom] and is oriented at a dihedral angle of 51.3 (1)° with respect to the benzene ring. The two meth-oxy groups are almost coplanar with the attached benzene ring [C-O-C-C = 3.7 (4) and 4.3 (4)°]. 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, mol-ecules are linked through bifurcated C-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds having R(1) (2)(5) ring motifs, forming chains along the b-axis direction. The crystal packing is further stabilzed by π-π inter-actions [centriod-centroid distance = 3.463 (1) Å].
