Methyl 4,6-bis­(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-2-oxo­cyclo­hex-3-ene-1-carboxyl­ate

The 3-cyclo­hexene units adopt envelope conformations in each of the two independent mol­ecules that comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(20)H(16)F(2)O(3). The dihedral angles between the two fluoro­phenyl rings are 79.7 (2) and 73.7 (2)° in the two mol­ecules. In one of the mol­ecules, two C—H groups of the cyclo­hexene ring are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.818 (13):0.182 (13) ratio, the major and minor components corresponding to the two enanti­omeric forms of the mol­ecule. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions help to stabilize the crystal structure.
