title: 2,2,2-Tribromo-N-phenyl-acetamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C(8)H(6)Br(3)NO, the N-H bond is anti to the carbonyl bond in the side chain. The N-H hydrogen atom is involved in a two-centered bond as it shows simultaneous N-H⋯Br intra- and N-H⋯O inter-molecular inter-actions in the structure. In the crystal, mol-ecules are packed into column-like chains along the b axis through the N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
