Crystal structure of 2,2-dimethyl-N-(pyridin-3-yl) propanamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C10H14N2O, the pyridine ring is inclined to the mean plane of the amide moiety [N - C(O) C] by 17.60 (8)°. There is an intramolecular C - H⋯O hydrogen bond present involving the carbonyl O atom. In the crystal, molecules are linked via N - H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100]. The tert-butyl group is disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.758 (12):0.242 (12).
