1-(2-Bromobenzoyl)-6,7-(methylenedioxy)isoquinoline
Abstract
In the title molecule, C17H10BrNO3, the mean planes of tricycle and bromophenyl fragments form a dihedral angle of 75.5 (1)°. In the crystal, π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.556 (2) and 3.898 (8) Å] between the isoquinoline systems link molecules into stacks parallel to the a axis. The crystal packing also exibits weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
