1-Benzyl-5-bromoindoline-2,3-dione

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H10BrNO2, the indoline ring system, the two ketone O atoms and the Br atom lie in a common plane, with the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.073 (1) Å for the Br atom. The fused-ring system is nearly perpendicular to the benzyl ring, as indicated by the dihedral angle between them of 74.58 (10)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and by π–π inter­actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.625 (2) Å], forming a two-dimensional structure.
