The main feature in the title compound, C20H18, is the system of fused three-, five- and six-membered rings.The two phenyl substituents are bonded to one C atom of the three-membered ring and that ring adopts an endo conformation relative to the larger rings.This results in a phenyl-group atom being close to the diene bond in the fused rings.The contact distances are 2.912 (4) and 2.952 (3) Angstroem.The plane of this phenyl group is nearly parallel to the diene bond.Planes of the two phenyl rings make an angle of 76.1 (2) deg.
