In the title compound, C27H20BrNO3, two intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds both form S(6) rings. The pyrrolidine ring adopts a twisted conformation about the C—C bond bearing the indane ring systems. The other two five-membered rings within the indane systems are in shallow envelope conformations, with the spiro C atoms as the flap atoms. The mean plane of the pyrrolidine ring [maximum deviation = 0.275 (1) Å] makes dihedral angles of 65.25 (7), 78.33 (6) and 75.25 (6)° with the bromo-substituted benzene ring and the mean planes of the mono- and dioxo-substituted indane rings, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. In addition, C—H...π interactions are observed.
