N-[6-(Dibromomethyl)-2-pyridyl]-2,2-dimethylpropionamide

Abstract

In the molecular structure of the title compound, C11H14Br2N2O, the dimethylpropionamide substituent is twisted slightly with respect to the pyridine ring, the interplanar angle being 12.3 (2)°. The dibromomethyl group is orientated in such a way that the two Br atoms are tilted away from the pyridine ring. In the crystal structure, molecules are associated into supramolecular chains by weak C—H...O interactions. The crystal is further stabilized by weak N—H...Br and C—H...N interactions.
