Abstract:
In the title compound, C(18)H(22)N(2)O, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the pyridine ring is 80.0 (1)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules into chains along the b axis. The packing also features C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π interactions, one directed to the benzene ring and the other to the center of the pyridine ring.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
