The 9H8Br3NO, contains two independent molecules. The conformation of the N—H bond is anti to the 3-methyl substituent in the benzene ring in each molecule. The structure shows both intramolecular N—H⋯Br and intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, the latter leading to the formation of helical supramolecular chains along the b axis.

The title compound was prepared from m-toluidine, tribromoacetic acid and phosphorylchloride according to the literature method (Gowda et al., 2003). Single crystals of (I) were obtained by the slow evaporation of its petroleum ether solution at room temperature.
The H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry using a riding model with N—H = 0.86 Å and C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å, and with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(carrier atom).
The residual electron-density features are located in the regions of Br2 and Br1. The highest peak was 0.84 Å from Br2 and the deepest hole was 0.99 Å from Br1.

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. |

As part of a study of the effect of the ring and the side-chain substituents on the solid-state structures of N-aromatic amides (Gowda et al., 2007a, b, 2009), in the present work, the structure of N-(3-methylphenyl)2,2,2-tribromoacetamide (I) has been determined (Fig. 1). The asymmetric unit of the structure contains two independent molecules. The conformation of the N—H bond is anti to the 3-methyl substituent in the benzene ring in each molecule, similar to that observed in N-(3-methylphenyl)2,2,2-trichloroacetamide (Gowda et al., 2007a) and N-(3-methylphenyl)2,2,2-trimethylacetamide (Gowda et al., 2007b). Further, the conformation of the N—H bond in the structure is anti to the C═O bond in the side-chain, similar to that observed in N-(phenyl)2,2,2-tribromoacetamide (Gowda et al., 2009) and other amides (Brown, 1966; Gowda et al., 2007a,b). The structure of (I) shows both the intramolecular N—H···Br and intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonding, Table 1. The packing diagram showing the hydrogen bonds (Table 1) and the supramolecular chains parallel to the b axis is shown in Fig. 2.
