Abstract

The title compound, C(11)H(15)BrN(2)O(2), contains an amide group which is close to coplanar with the adjacent pyridine ring, the dihedral angle between the planes being 9.0 (5)°. The mol-ecular packing reveals a mutual hydrogen-bond inter-action between centrosymmetrically related hydroxyl O atoms. Further hydrogen bonding involving O-H⋯Br and N-H⋯Br inter-actions also appears to consolidate the packing.
