The 7H7BrN2O, contains two molecules, in one of which the methyl H atoms are disorderd over two orientations in a 0.57 (3):0.43 (3) ratio. The dihedral angles between the pyridine rings and the acetamide groups are 7.27 (11) and 8.46 (11)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generating bifurcated R21(5) ring motifs, which in turn lead to [110] chains.

(1E)-1-(5-Bromopyridin-2-yl)-N-hydroxyethanimine (2 g, 0.0093 mol) was taken in N,N dimethyl formamide (20 ml) at 25–26°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. Propylphosphonic anhydride (0.6 g, 0.00093 mol, 50% solution in ethylacetate) was added at the same temperature (Augustine et al., 2011). The reaction mixture was heated to 100°C for 5 hrs. The reaction mixture was cooled to 25–26°C and quenched onto ice-cold water. The precipitated white solid was filtered and dried under vacuum to get the desired product as a white solid which was then recrystallized from ethanol (Sollogoub et al., 2002) to yield colourless needles of (I). Yield 1.89 g (94.5%) Mp. 447–449 K.
All the H atoms were positioned geometrically [C–H = 0.9300 to 1.1046 Å, N–H = 0.8514 to 0.9600 Å] and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) =1.2 or 1.5Uiso(C). One set of the methyl hydrogen atoms are disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancy ratio of 0.57 (3):0.43 (3).

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. |

The acetylation of amines is an important method for protection (Greene & Wuts, 1999) of this basic functionality that is an important part of many natural products and medicinally important compounds such as sulphanilamide (Moore et al., 1940). In addition, certain natural products and medicinal compounds contain the acetamide functionality as part of the native compound or drug. Examples include epiquinamide, a compound isolated from a poison frog (Suyama et al., 2006) and Tylenol a common analgesic compound. Prompted by these, we synthesized the title compound, (I), and determined its crystal structure.
The asymmetric unit of (I) consists of two independent molecules of N-(5-bromopyridin-2-yl)acetamide (A & B) as shown in Fig. 1. In molecule A, the methyl hydrogen atoms are disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancy ratio of 0.57 (3):0.43 (3). The pyridine (N1A/C1A–C5A)/(N1B/C1B–C5B) rings are essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.006 (2) Å for atom C4A and 0.004 (2) Å for atom N1B, respectively. The dihedral angle between the pyridine (N1A/C1A–C5A)/(N1B/C1B–C5B) rings and acetamide (N2A/O1A/C5A–C7A)/ (N2B/O1B/C5B–C7B) groups are 7.27 (11)° and 8.46 (11)° respectively. The bond lengths and angles are normal and comparable to those in a related structure (Loureiro et al., 2008).
In the crystal (Fig. 2), the molecules are linked by intermolecular N2A—H1NA···O1B, N2B—H1NB···O1A and C7A—H7AA···O1B hydrogen bonds (Table 1) generating a bifurcated R12(5) ring motif, resulting in supramolecular [1 1 0] chains.
