M. Odabasoglu and O. Büyükgüngör

Abstract: Crystals of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂O₂N₂, are stabilized by inversion-related N-HN and C-HO intermolecular hydrogen bonds and also by two C-H interactions. The N-HN and C-HO hydrogen bonds generate R₂²(8) and R₂²(10) ring motifs, respectively, and the phthalide section of the molecule is planar. The dihedral angle between the phthalide group and the pyridyl ring is 82.06 (17)°.
