Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₁BrO₃, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 72.59 (6)°. In the crystal, pairs of C-H contacts form inversion dimers. Additional C-HO hydrogen bonds generate R₂¹(6) ring motifs and stack these dimers along the b axis. Short intermolecular BrO contacts of 3.254 (3) Å are also observed and link the stacks into a three-dimensional network.
