5-Bromo-2-methyl-1-benzofuran is a phenyl ring with a furan moiety. The molecule has an average length of 1.5 Å and contains dihedral angles that are close to 90°. 5-Bromo-2-methyl-1-benzofuran is stabilized by two substituents on the phenyl ring, which are methyl groups on the benzene rings. This molecule can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, as well as other polar molecules such as alcohols and acids. The crystal structure of this molecule is also stabilized by interactions between the phenyl and benzofuran moieties.
