title: Methyl 5-bromo-2-hy-droxy-benzoate.
abstract: The title compound, C(8)H(7)BrO(3), is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.055 Å). In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into C(6) chains propagating in [010]. Very weak aromatic π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.984 (5) and 3.982 (5) Å] also occur.
