Abstract:
In the title compound, C(17)H(17)NO(4), the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyridine rings is 75.51 (4)°. The benzene and pyridine rings are both approximately planar (r.m.s. deviations of 0.0040 and 0.0083 Å, respectively), indicating that the pyridine N atom is not protonated. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N inter-actions.
