3-(2-Bromo­acet­yl)phenyl benzoate

In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₁BrO₃, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 72.59 (6)°. In the crystal, pairs of C—H...π contacts form inversion dimers. Additional C—H...O hydrogen bonds generate R₂¹(6) ring motifs and stack these dimers along the b axis. Short inter­molecular Br...O contacts of 3.254 (3) Å are also observed and link the stacks into a three-dimensional network.
