N,N′-(1,4-Phenylene)bis(2-bromo-2-methylpropanamide)
Abstract
The molecular structure of the title compound, C14H18Br2N2O2, has one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecule has a crystallographic inversion centre in the middle of the benzene ring. The C—C—N—C torsion angle between the benzene ring and the bromoamide group is 149.2 (7)°. The crystal is stabilized by a strong intermolecular N—H...O bond and weak C—H...O interactions. These contacts give rise to a three-dimensional network.
