Crystal structure of 2,2-dimethyl-N-(5-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)propanamide.

ABSTRACT: There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C11H16N2O. The pyridine rings and amide groups overlap almost perfectly (r.m.s. overlay fit = 0.053?Å), but the tertiary butyl groups have different orientations: in one mol-ecule, one of the methyl C atoms is syn to the amide O atom [O-C-C-C = -0.8?(3)°] and in the other the equivalent torsion angle is 31.0?(2)°. In the crystal, the two independent mol-ecules are linked by a pair of N-H?N hydrogen bonds in the form of an R 2 (2)(8) loop to form a dimer. A C-H?O inter-action connects the dimers into [100] chains.
