2-Bromo-1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-3-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C16H13BrO, the two benzene rings are twisted from each other with a dihedral angle of 52.55 (9)°. Both an intra-molecular C - H⋯Br hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring motif, and a short Br⋯O contact [2.9907 (19) Å] may influence the conformation of the mol-ecule. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C - H⋯O inter-actions.
