Structure and conformation

In the compound C6H6BrNO (2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine), the Br atom is displaced from the pyridine ring mean plane by 0.0948Å, while the hydroxyl O atom and the methyl C atom are displaced by 0.0173 and 0.015Å, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via O—H…N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the a-axis direction. These chains are linked by C—H?Br hydrogen bonds, forming corrugated two-dimensional networks lying parallel to the ac plane.
