The title compound, C28H26N2O4, crystallizes as a racemate with four stereogenic centers. In the molecule, the pyrrolidone ring adopts an envelope conformation and the cyclohexene ring has a twisted envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds.
