title: 1-(4-Bromo-phen-yl)-3-(4-ethoxy-phen-yl)-prop-2-en-1-one.
abstract: The title compound, C(17)H(15)BrO(2), consists of two substituted benzene rings connected by a prop-2-en-1-one group. The mol-ecule is nearly planar and adopts an E configuration. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 8.51 (19)°. The enone plane makes dihedral angles of 11.06 (19) and 7.69 (19)°, respectively, with the bromo-phenyl and ethoxy-phenyl rings. The mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a zigzag ribbon-like structure along the b direction. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intra- and inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions.
