6-(4-Bromo­phen­yl)-2-eth­oxy-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxy­phen­yl)nicotinonitrile

In the asymmetric unit of the title nicotinonitrile derivative, C(23)H(21)BrN(2)O(4), there are two non-planar independent mol­ecules. The central pyridine ring makes dihedral angles of 9.05 (7) and 77.06 (7)°, respectively, with the 4-bromo­phenyl and 2,4,6-trimethoxy­phenyl rings in one mol­ecule, whereas the corresponding values are 5.96 (7) and 82.37 (7)° in the other. All the three meth­oxy groups are essentially in the plane of the attached benzene ring [C—O—C—C angles = 2.99 (19), 4.8 (2) and −6.2 (2)° in one mol­ecule, and 2.69 (18), 176.73 (15) and 1.3 (2)° in the other]. The eth­oxy group is slightly twisted in one mol­ecule [C—C—O—C = 173.84 (12)°], whereas it is coplanar with the pyridine ring in the other [C—C—O—C = −177.23 (13)°]. Weak intra­molecular C—H⋯N inter­actions generate S(5) ring motifs. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are linked by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O inter­actions into a supra­molecular three-dimensional network in such a way that the nicotinonitrile units of neighboring mol­ecules are stacked in an anti­parallel manner along the c axis. The crystal is further stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions.
