The title compound, C~14~H~11~BrO, was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methylbenzophenone and bromine in carbon tetrachloride. X-ray crystal structure analysis reveals that the benzene and phenyl rings form a dihedral angle of 59.53 (6)°, and the crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C—H.
In the title molecule, C 8 H 7 NO 4 , the non-H atoms are essentially coplanar. In the crystal structure, short intermolecular OÁ Á ÁC (3.21 A ˚) and OÁ Á ÁN (3.17 A ˚) contacts indicate the presence ofinteractions.
In the title compound, C 8 H 8 Br 2 , the molecules are located on inversion centres and are connected through weak intermolecular BrÁ Á ÁBr interactions into layers parallel to the (102) plane.
