1-(Dibromomethyl)-4-methoxy-2-methylbenzene.
The title compound, C(9)H(10)Br(2)O, is a major product of the radical bromination of 4-methoxy-1,2-dimethylbenzene. Each Br atom is involved in a close contact with the O atom of a neighbouring molecule, forming a geometry that is suggestive of weak intermolecular O--> Br charge-transfer interactions.
