J.-Y. Wu, M.Y.-N. Chiang and W.-F. Zeng

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₄H₈BrNO₂, was obtained as an N-protected starting material for the syntheses of multidentate ligands bearing N-donor atoms. Its crystal structure is reported here. The structure contains two orthogonal planar moieties (the bromophenyl ring and the phthalimide plane), with an interplanar angle of 79.2  (4)°. A short intermolecular BrO distance of 3.070  (4)  Å is observed.
