The conformations of the octyl side chains are completely different. In the crystal, the components are linked by O-H⋯Br, C-H⋯Br and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional network lying parallel to the ac plane. Aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions are also observed [shortest centroid-to-centroid separation = 3.5047 (16) Å].Acta crystallographica.
