title: 2-Bromo-1-mesitylethanone.
abstract: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(11)H(13)BrO, the adjacent C atoms are almost coplanar with the aromatic ring [maximum deviation 0.035 (3) Å]. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into chains along the b axis. A very weak C-H⋯π inter-action is also present.
