2-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-oxoethyl 4-methoxybenzoate

In the title compound, C16H13BrO4, the benzene rings are almost perpendicular to each other, making a dihedral angle of 84.07 (8)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into chains along the a axis via intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A C—H⋯π interaction is also observed.
