In the title compound, C16H20O6, the conformation about the C=C double bond [1.344 (2) Å] is Z. With respect to this bond, the ketone is almost coplanar [C - C - C - O torsion angle = -179.60 (10)°] and the ester is almost perpendicular [C - C - C - O = 78.42 (13)°]. The methoxy substituents of the...
