3,5-Dichloro-6-methylpyridin-2-amine

Abstract

In the title compound, C6H6Cl2N2, intramolecular N–H...Cl and C—H...Cl contacts generate five-membered rings, producing S(5) ring motifs. Pairs of intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds link neighbouring molecules into dimers with R22(8) ring motifs. In the crystal structure, these dimers are connected by N—H...Cl interactions and are packed into columns.
