2-Bromopyridine-3-carboxylic acid

Abstract

The carboxylic acid residue in the title compound, C(6)H(4)BrNO(2), is twisted out of the plane of the other atoms, as indicated by the (Br)C-C-C-O(carbon-yl) torsion angle of -20.1 (9)°. In the crystal, supra-molecular chains mediated by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are formed with base vector [201] and C-H⋯O inter-actions reinforce the packing.
