2-(4-Bromophenoxy)propanohydrazide

Abstract

The title compound, C9H11BrN2O2, is an important intermediate for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds such as azoles, 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 5-substituted 2-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The bromophenoxy group subtends a dihedral angle of 82.81 (7)° with the plane passing through the propanohydrazide moiety. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds that form columns extending along the b axis.
