N-(5-Bromopyridin-2-yl)acetamide

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C 7H 7BrN 2O, contains two molecules, in one of which the methyl H atoms are disorderd over two orientations in a 0.57 (3):0.43 (3) ratio. The dihedral angles between the pyridine rings and the acetamide groups are 7.27 (11) and 8.46 (11) . In the crystal, molecules are linked by N - H?O and C - H?O hydrogen bonds generating bifurcated R 2 1(5) ring motifs, which in turn lead to [110] chains.
