title: 2,2,2-Tribromo-N-(3-methyl-phen-yl)acetamide.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(9)H(8)Br(3)NO, contains two independent mol-ecules. The conformation of the N-H bond is anti to the 3-methyl substituent in the benzene ring in each mol-ecule. The structure shows both intra-molecular N-H⋯Br and inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, the latter leading to the formation of helical supra-molecular chains along the b axis.
