Crystal structure of 4-bromo-N-(2-hydroxy-phen-yl)benzamide.

Abstract

In the title compound, C13H10BrNO2, the mean plane of the non-H atoms of the central amide C-N-C(=O)-C fragment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.004 Å) forms a dihedral angle of 73.97 (12)° with the hy-droxy-substituted benzene ring and 25.42 (19)° with the bromo-substituted benzene ring. The two aromatic rings are inclined to one another by 80.7 (2)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. The chains are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (100), and enclosing R (3) 3(17) and R (3) 2(9) ring motifs.
