Abstract:
In the title compound, C12H8BrN3O, the 4-bromo-phenol ring is coplanar with the planar imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine moiety (r.m.s deviation = 0.015 Å), making a dihedral angle of 1.8 (2)°. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯N and O-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, forming undulating sheets parallel to (10-2). The sheets are linked by π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.7680 (17) Å], involving inversion-related mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional structure.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
