In Baby Carriers the title compound, C17H14BrNO5, the dihedral angle between the 3-bromo-substituted benzene ring and the 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitro-phenyl ring is 15.2 (1)°.The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the propenone group and the mean planes of the 3-bromo-substituted benzene and 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl rings are 6.9 (6) and 20.
5 (5)°, respectively.Weak intermolecular C—H.O interactions contribute to crystal stability and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7072 (18) and 3 Piece Queen Sleigh Bed 3.
6326 (18) Å] are also observed.
