In the title compound, C13H10O4, prepared by the condensation reaction between phthalic anhydride and pentane-2,4-dione, one of the acetyl groups in the pentane-2,4-dione fragment is almost coplanar with the isobenzofuran ring system, while the other group is twisted out of this plane by almost 80°. The corresponding C - C and C - O distances in the two acetyl units are consistent with dipolar delocalization into the coplanar unit only. There is no supra-molecular aggregation of the mol-ecules, but a number of rather short inter-molecular contacts of C - H...O, O...O and O...C types occur. International Union of Crystallography 2007.
