GRANT command error

Hello,
I am running a very simple command to grant a stored procedure an EXEC
permission to a login that is created for a NT group. The command is as
follows
GRANT EXECUTE ON [dbo].[sp_RptUsersData] TO CORP\AppDev.
I am getting the error like "Incorrect syntax near '\' "
Please note that same name exist for login and database user i.e CORP\AppDev.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.Surround the user in square brackets. [CORP\AppDev]
