Methyl (2Z)-2-bromo­methyl-3-(2,4-dichloro­phen­yl)prop-2-enoate

In the title compound C₁₁H₉BrCl₂O₂, which represents the Z isomer, the methyl­acrylate moiety is essentially planar within 0.039 (2) Å and has an extended trans configuration. The benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 28.3 (1)° with the mean plane of the methyl­acrylate moiety. The crystal packing is characterized by C—H...O hydrogen bonding and halogen–halogen inter­actions [Cl...Cl = 3.486 (3) Å], resulting in the formation of R₂²(11) ring motifs and connecting the mol­ecules into chains propagating along the b axis.
