Abstract: The title compound, C₁₁H₁₂N₄, was synthesized by the reaction of N,N-1,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)-5-fluorouracil with 2-aminopyridine in ethanol in the absence of a catalyst. The pyridine rings are approximately perpendicular to one another and are linked in the crystal structue via intermolecular N-HN hydrogen bonds.
