title: 2-Bromo-1-(4-methoxy-phen-yl)ethanone.
abstract: The title compound, C(9)H(9)BrO(2), prepared by the reaction of 4-methoxy-acetophenone and cupric bromide, , is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation 0.0008 Å). In the crystal, weak inter-molecular aromatic C-H⋯O(carbon-yl) hydrogen-bonding inter-actions result in a one-dimensional chain structure.
