2-(2-Bromophenyl)acetic acid

Abstract

In the title mol­ecule, C8H7BrO2, the carboxyl group is twisted by 76.2 (3)° from the benzene ring plane. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into inversion dimers through pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The dimers are further linked into layers parallel to the bc plane by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
