3-(3-Bromobenzyl)-1H-isochromen-1-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H11BrO2, the isocoumarin ring system is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 Å) and subtends a dihedral angle of 88.90 (2)° with the bromobenzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked, forming a three-dimensional packing pattern involving C—H...O interactions, Br...O contacts [3.4734 (10) Å] and π–π stacking interactions with centroid–centroid distances ranging from 3.667 (2) to 3.765 (2) Å.
