3-Allyl-6-bromo-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2(3H)-one
Abstract:
In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(9)H(8)BrN(3)O, the fused-ring system is almost planar, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.008 (3) Å. The plane through the atoms forming the allyl group is roughly perpendicular to the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one system, as indicated by the dihedral angle between them of 70.28 (11)°. In the crystal, each mol-ecule is linked to its symmetry equivalent about the center of inversion by a pair of strong N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming inversion dimers.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
