The title compound, C13H6Br2O4, derived from xanthone, a fundamental structural framework of active ingredients in many medicinal plants, and was synthesized by bromination of 1,3-di-hydroxyxanthen-9-one with N-bromo-succinimide. The mol-ecular conformation is essentially planar, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings being 1.1 (4)°. This conformation is favorable for the formation of an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond between a hy-droxy group and the xanthone carbonyl group. In the cr ...[more]
