title: rac-2,3-Dibromo-propionamide.
abstract: The racemic title compound, C(3)H(5)Br(2)NO, was crystallized from methanol. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the c-axis direction. These chains are linked through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an undulating two-dimensional network lying parallel to the bc plane. There are also short Br⋯Br contacts present [3.514 (3) Å].
