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

Abstract

The title compound, C(15)H(22)BrN(3)O(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 N(py)-C-C-N(am) 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.
