The crystal structure of 2-bromoacetoxybenzoic acid, C9H7BrO4, shows it to be a close structural analog of aspirin. The carboxylic acid moiety is twisted by 7.7 (4)° out of the plane of the aromatic ring. The acetyl group, like that of aspirin, shows bond-angle distortions from ideal values while remaining essentially planar. The Br atom is rotationally disordered and has been modeled as occupying two sites related by a 13 (1)° rotation about the C8-C9 bond.
