Abstract: The structure of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₀BrClO, comprises two substituted benzene rings bridged by a prop-2-en-1-one group and exists in an E configuration about the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle formed between the 4-bromophenyl and 2-chlorophenyl rings is 23.77 (18)°. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked by weak C-HO interactions, forming a supramolecular zigzag chain. Intramolecular C-HCl and C-HO hydrogen bonds are also present.
