Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₉H₁₇BrO₄, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 82.9 (2)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular C-HO hydrogen bond, which generates an S(7) ring motif. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-HO hydrogen bonds, which generate two centrosymmetic ring systems with R₂²(18) and R₂²(14) graph-set motifs. The crystal packing is further stabilized by intermolecular - interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.984 (2) Å].
