title: N,N'-(1,4-Phenyl-ene)bis-(2-bromo-2-methyl-propanamide).
abstract: The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(14)H(18)Br(2)N(2)O(2), has one half-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The mol-ecule has a crystallographic inversion centre in the middle of the benzene ring. The C-C-N-C torsion angle between the benzene ring and the bromo-amide group is 149.2 (7)°. The crystal is stabilized by a strong inter-molecular N-H⋯O bond and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions. These contacts give rise to a three-dimensional network.
