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

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C15H9BrCl2O, is shown to be the E isomer, with the 3,4-dichlorobenzoyl and p-bromophenyl substituents in trans positions with respect to the chalcone olefin bond. The molecule is non-planar, the two aromatic rings forming a dihedral angle of 49.58 (1)°.
