Crystal structure of 1-[3,5-bis-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl)phen-yl]-2-bromo-ethan-1-one.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C₁₀H₅BrF₆O, synthesized via continuous stirring of 3,5-bis-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl) aceto-phenone with bromine in an acidic medium and concentrated under reduced pressure, crystallizes with four mol-ecules in the unit cell (Z = 4) and one formula unit in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked in a head-to-tail fashion into dimers along the b-axis direction through weak C-H⋯Br and C-O⋯Csp² inter-actions. C-H⋯O, C-F⋯π and F⋯F inter-actions are also observed.
