The title compound, C11H15BrN2O2, contains an amide group which is close to coplanar with the adjacent pyridine ring, the dihedral angle between the planes being 9.0 (5)°. The molecular packing reveals a mutual hydrogen-bond interaction between centrosymmetrically related hydroxyl O atoms. Further hydrogen bonding involving O—H⋯Br and N—H⋯Br interactions also appears to consolidate the packing.

N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)pivalamide (40 g, 0.207 mol), NBS (56 g, 0.315 mol), and a catalytic amount of AIBN were dissolved in carbon tetrachloride (400 ml). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 13 h. The resulting crude brown oil was purified via
(hexane:ethyl acetate (95:5)). Recrystallization from hexane afforded crystals (yield 1.7%) suitable for X-ray diffraction. 1H NMR (400 MHz; CDCl3): 7.94 (s, 1H, H2), 7.92 (d, 1H, J = 7.87 Hz, py-H5), 7.70 (t, 1H, J = 7.89 Hz, py-H4), 7.37 (d, 1H, J = 7.60 Hz, py-H3), 6.40 (s, 1H, H1), 1.27 (s, 9H, H9–11). IR (KBr disk): 1694.0 cm-1 (—C=O). HRMS (EI) m/z: calc. for C11H15BrN2O 270.0368, found 270.0373.H atoms attached to C, N and O atoms were placed in calculated positions and subsequently treated as riding with C—H distances of 0.95–1.00 Å, an N—H distance of 0.88 Å, and an O—H distance of 0.84 Å. The Uiso(H) was set to be 1.5Ueq of the
for hydroxyl and methyl H atoms, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for all other H atoms. The deepest hole in electron density (-0.99 e A-3) is located at the distance of 0.36 Å from O1.Data collection: COLLECT (Nonius, 2000); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

During research focused on new synthetic routes towards novel poly-pyridyl co-ordination compounds, we observed an unexpected by-product in one of our syntheses. As we attempted to prepare N-(6-(bromomethyl)pyridin-2-yl)pivalamide (1) from N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)pivalamide and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) (Harata et al., 1995), the title compound (2) was isolated in low yield (Fig. 3).
We postulate that during the free-radical driven mono-bromination reaction (Scheme 2), a small quantity of N-(6-(dibromomethyl)pyridin-2-yl)pivalamide is generated. The formation of 2 would proceed via an SN1 reaction involving water, arising as a minor contaminant within the solvent. Subsequent elimination of HBr would lead to the formation of the corresponding aldehyde, however, we have isolated this intermediate prior to HBr elimination.
The formation of the stereogenic centre (C1) from achiral starting materials without any optically active agent has naturally led to a racemic compound. The geometry surrounding the C1 atom is a distorted tetrahedron, which supports the sp3-hybridization of this carbon, and the comparatively long C1–O1 bond (1.440 (8) Å) confirms the presence of an alcohol rather than a ketone. Additionally, while no hydroxyl proton was observed in the 1H NMR, the spectrum revealed a diagnostic singlet at a considerable downfield shift of 6.40 p.p.m. which, according to the 1H NMR prediction software (CHEMDRAW Ultra 8.0; Cambridge Soft 2001), is indicative of a proton (H1) in an α-position to a hydroxyl group and a bromine atom. The single-crystal infrared spectrum of this compound also features just a single band in the carbonyl region (1694.0 cm-1) attributable to the amide carbonyl stretch. The bond lengths and angles of the title compound are in good agreement with the expected values (Goswami et al., 2005).
The mutual H-bond interaction between hydroxyl oxygen atoms O1 and O1i (Fig. 2) results in a short H···H distance (1.87 Å) which is indicative of some disorder between the hydroxyl groups. Attempts at modeling this disorder have given unsatisfactory results. See Table 1 for details of other H-bond interactions which support the crystal packing (Fig. 3).
