The title compound, C17H26BrNO, exhibits a small twist between the amide residue and the benzene ring [C—N—C—C torsion angle = 29.4 (5)°]. In the crystal, the amido NH group is involved in N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, which connects molecules into chains parallel to the c axis.

Synthesis of (2,5-Bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole)dimethylplatinum(II), [PtMe2(ox)]
A mixture of [Pt2Me4(µ-SMe2)2] (50 mg, 0.087 mmol)) (Hill et al., 2007) and ox (ox = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole) (38 mg, 0.170Dr mmol) (Bentiss and Lagrenée, 1999) in dry ether (10 ml) was stirred for 1 h. A red precipitate resulted. The precipitate was isolated and washed with acetone (3 × 5 ml). The product was recrystallized from CH2Cl2. A yellow solid was produced and dried in vacuo.
The title compound was crystallized unintentionally from the reaction mixture of the complex (2,5-Bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole)dimethylplatinum(II), [PtMe2(ox)] (0.05 g, 0.112 mmol) and, the commercially available N-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-3-bromopropanamide (0.052 g, 0.129 mmol) in acetone (15 ml) was stirred for 5 h at room temperature. The reaction color changed to yellow suspension. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the resulting solid was washed with water (2 × 10 ml) and pentane (3 × 10 ml). The isolated yellow solid is highly soluble in CH2Cl2 solvent, which was dried under high vacuum. Yield 87%. A suitable crystal for X-ray
was selected for data collection.The hydrogen atoms were introduced at idealized positions and were allowed to ride on the parent atom, with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and N—H = 0.88 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C,N).
The title compound C17H25BrNO, is a brominated derivative of a secondary amide bearing a di-tert-butylbenzene ring. It exhibits a small twist between the amide residue and benzene ring [the C3—N1—C4—C5 torsion angle = 29.5 (4)°]. The N—H and C=O bonds are anti to each other (Fig. 1), as observed in many other derivatives (Shakuntala et al., 2011). In the structure, bond distances and angles are within normal range (Table 1) and comparable to reported values in amide derivatives (Palakshamurthy et al., 2014, Betz et al., 2011). The torsion angle of C3—N1—C4—C9 and C3—N1—C4—C5 are -153.2 (3)° and 29.5 (4)°, respectively. The amido NH group is involved in N—H···O [2.01 Å] hydrogen bonding, which connects molecules into chains parallel to c axis (Fig. 2).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |

The title compound C17H25BrNO, is a brominated derivative of a secondary amide bearing a di-tert-butylbenzene ring. It exhibits a small twist between the amide residue and benzene ring [the C3—N1—C4—C5 torsion angle = 29.5 (4)°]. The N—H and C=O bonds are anti to each other (Fig. 1), as observed in many other derivatives (Shakuntala et al., 2011). In the structure, bond distances and angles are within normal range (Table 1) and comparable to reported values in amide derivatives (Palakshamurthy et al., 2014, Betz et al., 2011). The torsion angle of C3—N1—C4—C9 and C3—N1—C4—C5 are -153.2 (3)° and 29.5 (4)°, respectively. The amido NH group is involved in N—H···O [2.01 Å] hydrogen bonding, which connects molecules into chains parallel to c axis (Fig. 2).
