4-Bromo-N2,N2,N6,N6- tetraethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide

Abstract

The title compound, C15H22BrN3O 2, consists of a pyridine ring with a bromine atom in the para position and two diethyl-amide groups in the ortho positions of the ring. Despite the positions of the three substituents on the pyridine ring, the mol-ecule does not exhibit either local or crystallographic twofold symmetry as the two diethyl-amido units exhibit significantly different Npy - C - C - Nam torsion angles of 46.3 (4) and 62.7 (4)° (py is pyridine and am is amine). Inter-molecular C - H⋯O inter-actions support the packing.
