title: 5-Bromo-2-iodo-1,3-dimethyl-benzene.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(8)BrI, contains three independent mol-ecules. In each molecule, the Br, I and C atoms of the methyl groups lie in the benzene ring plane. Intra-molecular C-H⋯I hydrogen bonds result in the formation of three planar five-membered rings, which are nearly coplanar with the adjacent rings.
