(E)-1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C15H10BrClO, comprises two substituted benzene rings bridged by a prop-2-en-1-one group and exists in an E configuration about the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle formed between the 4-bromo-phenyl and 2-chloro-phenyl rings is 23.77 (18)°. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are linked by weak C - H⋯O inter-actions, forming a supra-molecular zigzag chain. Intramolecular C - H⋯Cl and C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds are also present.
