The title compound, 5-[4-(di­ethyl­amino)­phenyl­methyl­idene]-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione, have been synthesized and its crystal structure determined. Due to the absence of hydrogen-bond donors in the structure, the crystal packing is controlled by van der Waals forces and weak C—H⋯O inter­actions, which associate the mol­ecules in dimers.
