The crystal structure determination of the title compound, C11H12BrNO4
, m.p. 408.5-409.3 K, shows the oxime geometry to be E (trans). In the
crystal structure, two molecules form a head-to-tail hydrogen-bonded
cyclic dimer, with the hydrogen bonds between the phe nol H atom of on
e molecule and the carboxylate O atom of the other. The dimers are hyd
rogen bonded via the oximes to form a repeating chain.
