title: Crystal structure of 2-benzyl-amino-4-(4-bromo-phen-yl)-6,7-di-hydro-5H-cyclo-penta-[b]pyridine-3-carbo-nitrile.
abstract: In the title compound C22H18BrN3, the cyclo-pentane ring adopts an envelope conformation with the central methyl-ene C atom as the flap. The dihedral angles between the central pyridine ring and the pendant benzyl and and bromo-benzene rings are 82.65 (1) and 47.23 (1)°, respectively. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯Nn (n = nitrile) hydrogen bonds generate R 2 (2)(12) loops. These dimers are linked by weak π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7713 (14) Å] into a layered structure.
