rac-2,3-Dibromopropionamide

Abstract

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 296 K; mean (C-C) = 0.015 Å; R factor = 0.066; wR factor = 0.184; data-to-parameter ratio = 24.3.The racemic title compound, C 3 H 5 Br 2 NO, was crystallized from methanol. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked through N-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the c-axis direction. These chains are linked through N-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds, forming an undulating two-dimensional network lying parallel to the bc plane. There are also short BrÁ Á ÁBr contacts present [3.514 (3) Å ].
