In the title mol-ecule, C11H11BrO3, the di-hydro-indene moiety is essentially planar but with a slight twist in the saturated portion of the five-membered ring. The meth-oxy groups lie close to the above plane. In the crystal, π-stacking inter-actions between six-membered rings form stacks of mol-ecules extending along the a-axis direction, which are linked by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed showing H⋯H, O⋯H/H⋯O and Br⋯H/H⋯Br contacts make the largest contributions to inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal.
Keywords: crystal structure; dihydroindenone; hydrogen bond; π-stacking.
