(6RS,9SR)-6,7-Dibromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-methanoanthracene

Abstract

The title compound, C15H12Br2, comprises a norbornane unit having a dibromonaphthalene ring fused on one side. Both Br atoms are twisted slightly out of the plane of the naphthalene ring system with a Br—C—C—Br torsion angle of 5.3 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, forming an infinite C(9) chain along [110].
