Abstract: The title compound, C₂₈H₂₄N₂O₅, was prepared from (E)-2-cinnamyl-1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dione using standard Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation conditions, followed by treatment with 1,1'-carbonyl diimidazole. In the crystal structure, the phenyl rings form intermolecular face-to-face - contacts, with an interplanar angle of 15.5 (2)° and a centroid-centroid distance of 4.73 (1) Å. One phenyl ring also forms a C-H contact to an adjacent imidazole ring, with an Hcentroid distance of 3.18 Å.
