N-(6-Bromo-meth-yl-2-pyrid-yl)acetamide.

ABSTRACT: The title acetamide compound, C(8)H(9)BrN(2)O, crystallizes with three crystallographically independent mol-ecules (A, B and C) in the asymmetric unit. In mol-ecule A, the mean plane through the acetamide unit is inclined at a dihedral angle of 4.40 (11)° with respect to the pyridine ring [10.31 (12) and 2.27 (11)°, respectively, for mol-ecules B and C]. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are inter-connected into sheets parallel to the ac plane by N-H⋯O, C-H⋯Br, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The structure is further stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions.
