4,6-Dimethyl-2-(3-pyrid­yl)quinolin-5-amine

The title compound, C₁₆H₁₅N₃, shows a hindrance effect between adjacent amino and methyl groups that leads to a structural distortion, which is reflected in the non-planarity of the quinoline entity and in the bond angles and distances. The crystal packing consists of chains along the b axis sustained by an inter­molecular hydrogen bond between the amino group and the N atom of the pyridyl ring.
