There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C12H12BrNO2. The C—C bond lengths of the two carbonyl C atoms of the five-membered rings are distinctly longer than a normal Csp 2—Csp 2 single bond. One of the molecules makes parallel self-coupled (inversion) dimers by π–π interactions with phenyl–phenyl interplanar distances of 3.403 (2) Å. The other molecule also forms self-dimers at longer phenyl–phenyl plane distances [3.649 (2) Å]. In the crystal, a C—H⋯O interaction is seen.
