In the title compound, C20H17N3O3, the dihedral angles between the central pyridine ring and the two terminal rings are 15.07 (3) and 43.24 (3)°. The dihedral angle between the two terminal rings is 37.49 (4)° In the crystal, intermolecular amine N-H...Nnitrile hydrogen-bonding interactions form inversion dimers, which are linked into chains through amine N-H...Omethoxy hydrogen bonds.
