Abstract: In the molecular structure of the title compound, C₁₁H₁₄Br₂N₂O, the dimethylpropionamide substituent is twisted slightly with respect to the pyridine ring, the interplanar angle being 12.3 (2)°. The dibromomethyl group is orientated in such a way that the two Br atoms are tilted away from the pyridine ring. In the crystal structure, molecules are associated into supramolecular chains by weak C-HO interactions. The crystal is further stabilized by weak N-HBr and C-HN interactions.
