In the title compound, C16H11BrO2, the isocoumarin ring system is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 Å) and subtends a dihedral angle of 88.90 (2)° with the bromobenzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked, forming a three-dimensional packing pattern involving C—H⋯O interactions, Br⋯O contacts [3.4734 (10) Å] and π–π stacking interactions with centroid–centroid distances ranging from 3.667 (2) to 3.765 (2) Å.

A mixture of 2-(3-bromophenyl)acetic acid (5 g, 0.023 mol) and oxalyl chloride (2 ml, 0.024 mol) was stirred overnight. Completion of the reaction was indicated by cessation of gas evolution. Excess oxalyl chloride was removed under reduced pressure to afford 2-(3-bromophenyl)acetyl chloride. Homophthalic acid (1.0 g, 0.006 mol) was added and the solution was heated at 473 K for 4 h. The reaction mixture was dissolved in ethyl acetate and aqueous solution of sodium carbonate was added in order to remove the unreacted homophthalic acid. The organic layer was separated, concentrated and chromatographed on silica gel using pet ether as
to afford title compound (yield 65%,; m.p. 97–98°C) as a colourless solid. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution.H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the synthesis of natural products, since they are an excellent and reliable source for the development of new drugs. Isocoumarins and 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins are a class of natural products that often occur as microbial metabolites and that have been found to exhibit interesting biological properties (Mali & Babu, 1998), including anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antiangiogenic, anti-malaria (Chinworrungsee et al., 2002), anti-bacterial (Rama et al., 1998), anti-cancer, anti-virus (Waters & Kozlowski, 2001) and anti-microbial activities (Davienne et al., 2002). In view of the importance of this class of compounds, the title compound, an isocoumarine derivative containing a 3-bromobenzyl substituent, has been synthesized and its crystal structure is reported here. We have previously reported the structures of the analogous fluorine and chlorine derivatives (Babar et al., 2008; Abid et al., 2008), which crystallize with two and three molecules respectively in the asymmetric unit.
The molecule of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The structure is not isotypic to either of the analogous derivatives. Bond lengths and angles may be regarded as normal by comparison with the earlier structures (Babar et al., 2008; Abid et al., 2008), although in each structure several bond angles are appreciably different from ideal values [e. g. in the current structure O2—C1—C9 126.19 (12), C3—C2—C10 128.78 (12), O1—C2—C10 109.56 (11), C2—C10—C11 112.98 (11)°]. The isocoumarin ring system and the bromobenzene ring are both planar within r.m.s. deviations of 0.015 Å and subtend a dihedral angle of 88.90 (2)°.
The packing diagram (Fig. 2) shows the molecules to be linked by two C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and by π–π stacking interactions between the coumarin units and between the bromobenzene rings, with centroid-to-centroid distances ranging from 3.667 (2) to 3.765 (2) Å. A marginal Br···O interaction [Br···O2i 3.4734 (10) Å; symmetry code: (i) -1 + x, y, -1 + z] is also observed.
