Abstract: The title compound, C₁₃H₉BrOS, crystallizes with two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The mean planes of the 3-bromothien-2-yl and 3-phenyl groups in A and B form dihedral angles of 4.9 (7) and 12.2 (4)°, respectively. The angles between the mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group and those of the 3-bromothien-2-yl and 3-phenyl groups are 2.8 (2) and 3.8 (2)°, respectively, in molecule A, and 5.1 (1) and 9.8 (9)° in molecule B. Essentially planar groups of molecule A pack zigzag to similar groups of molecule B along the a axis of the unit cell.
