2-(4-Bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile

In the title compound, C10H7BrN2, the non-H atoms, except the N atom of the acetonitrile group and the C atom bonded to it, lie in the least-squares plane defined by the atoms of the indole ring system (r.m.s deviation = 0.019 Å), with the N and C atom of the cyano group d...

Description
Summary:In the title compound, C10H7BrN2, the non-H atoms, except the N atom of the acetonitrile group and the C atom bonded to it, lie in the least-squares plane defined by the atoms of the indole ring system (r.m.s deviation = 0.019 Å), with the N and C atom of the cyano group displaced by 2.278 (1) and 1.289 (1) Å, respectively, out of that plane. In the crystal, N—H...N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a C(7) chain along [100].
