2-(2-Bromoethyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H8BrNO2, contains three crystallographically independent molecules. Two of the N—C—C—Br side chains adopt anti conformations [torsion angles = −179.8 (5) and −179.4 (4)°] and the other is gauche [−66.5 (6)°]. The crystal structure features short Br...O [3.162 (5) Å] contacts, C—H...O hydrogen bonds and numerous π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid separations = 3.517 (4)–3.950 (4) Å].
