There are two mol­ecules 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 mol­ecule, 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 mol­ecules are linked by a pair of N-H...N hydrogen bonds in the form of an R22(8) loop to form a dimer. A C-H...O inter­action connects the dimers into [100] chains.

Introduction top

Substituted pyridines are important compounds (Joule & Mills, 2000) and show a range of biological activities (de Candia et al., 2013; Abdel-Megeed et al., 2012). The pyridine ring system has been modified using various efficient and simple procedures that include the use of lithium reagents as inter­mediates (El-Hiti et al., 2015; Smith et al., 2013, Smith et al., 2012; Turner, 1983). The X-ray crystal structures of related compounds have been reported (El-Hiti et al., 2015; El-Hiti et al., 2014; Seidler et al., 2011; Koch et al., 2008).

Experimental top

Synthesis and crystallization top

2,2-Di­methyl-N-(5-methyl­pyridin-2-yl)propanamide was obtained in 83% yield from reaction of 2-amino-5-methyl­pyridine with tri­methyl­acetyl chloride in the presence of tri­ethyl­amine in di­chloro­methane at 0 °C for 15 minutes and then at room temperature for 2 h (Turner, 1983). The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; di­chloro­methane) followed by crystallization from hexane to give colourless crystals of the title compound. The NMR spectral data and elemental analyses for the title compound were identical with those previously reported (Turner, 1983).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) constrained to be 1.2 times Ueq for the atom it is bonded to except for methyl groups where it was 1.5 times with free rotation about the C—C bond.

Results and discussion top

The asymmetric unit (Figure 1) consists of two independent molecules of C11H16N2O. The amide group and pyridine ring within the molecule are not co-planar as indicated by the torsion angles [N1—C1—N2—C7 = 142.20 (14), N3—C12—N4—C18 = 148.58 (15)]. The two independent molecules are linked by a pair of N—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Figure 2) to form an R22(8) ring.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
