6-Bromo-5,8-dimethyl-2,2-diphenyl-2h-1-benzopyran

2H-Benzopyrans (chromenes) and their analogues are the subject of considerable current inter­est due to their highly desirable photochromic properties. In the title compound, C23H19BrO, the pyran ring displays a half-chair conformation. Crystal stability is governed only by van der Waals inter­actions.
