The title compound, C13H15BrO4, was synthesized from methyl 5-acetyl-2-hydroxybenzoate. With the exception of the ester group and some H atoms, the molecule is planar, the average deviation from planarity being 0.086 (5) Å. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the ester group is 41.6 (3)°. Adjacent molecules are interconnected by C—H...O bonds, generating a layered structure.
