Methyl (Z)-2-[(4-bromo-2-formylphenoxy)methyl]-3-(4-methylphenyl)acrylate

Abstract

In the title compound, C19H17BrO4, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 82.9 (2)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(7) ring motif. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which generate two centrosymmetic ring systems with R22(18) and R22(14) graph-set motifs. The crystal packing is further stabilized by intermolecular π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.984 (2) Å].
