2-Bromopyridine-3-carboxylic acid
Abstract
The carboxylic acid residue in the title compound, C6H4BrNO2, is twisted out of the plane of the other atoms, as indicated by the (Br)C—C—C—Ocarbonyl torsion angle of −20.1 (9)°. In the crystal, supramolecular chains mediated by O—H...N hydrogen bonds are formed with base vector [201] and C—H...O interactions reinforce the packing.
