Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title compound C(15)H(27)N(3)O(4), the mol-ecule is located on a twofold axis and the asymmetric unit contains one half-mol-ecule, with one N and one C atom lying on the rotation axis. The pyridine ring is the hydrogen-bond acceptor, while two hydroxyl O atoms act as hydrogen-bond donors in intra-molecular O-H⋯N and intermolecular O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, thereby forming a closed hydrogen-bonded cage.

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.
Classification of Ethers
Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...
