The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(8)BrNO(2), contains three crystallographically independent mol-ecules. Two of the N-C-C-Br side chains adopt anti conformations [torsion angles = -179.8 (5) and -179.4 (4)°] and the other is gauche [-66.5 (6)°]. The crystal structure features short Br⋯O [3.162 (5) Å] contacts, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and numerous π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid separations = 3.517 (4)-3.950 (4) Å].
