(2E)-3-(3-Bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

The mean planes of the benzene and pyridine rings in the title compound, C15H12BrNO2, are nearly coplanar, subtending an angle of 2.8 (8)degrees. The prop-2-en-1-one group is also in the plane of these rings with an N-C-C-O torsion angle of 179.6 (3)degrees. A weak C-H center dot center dot center dot Br intermolecular interaction contributes to the crystal packing, creating a chain-like structure along the a axis
