2,2-Dimethyl-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)propanamide

Abstract

In the title compound, C11H16N2O, the dihedral angle between the mean plane of the 4-methypyridine group and the plane of the amide link is 16.7 (1)°, and there is a short intramolecular C - H⋯O contact. Hydrogen bonding (N - H⋯O) between amide groups forms chains parallel to the b axis. Pairs of methylpyridine groups from molecules in adjacent chains are parallel but there is minimal π-π interaction.
