In the title molecule, C20H21N3O2, the benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 80.8 (1) and 83.5 (1)° with the two terminal pyridine rings. In the weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains propagating in [001].

3,5-Dimethoxyaniline (73.9 mg, 0.6 mmol) and 5 N NaOH (0.8 ml) were added to the solution of 2-bromomethylprydine (0.525 g, 3.05 mmol) in 1 ml of water, the obtained mixture was stirred vigorously for 24 h at room temperature. Then the mixture was extracted with 15 ml of CH2Cl2 for three times and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The crude material was purified by δ = 3.64 (s, 6H), 4.82 (s, 4H), 5.87 (s, 3H), 7.14 (t, J = 6.4 Hz, 2H), 7.29 (s, 2H), 7.64 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2H), 8.58 (d, J = 4.4 Hz, 2H).
on silica gel eluting with petroleum ether/EtOAc (3/1, V/V) to afford the desired product as a yellow solid (0.12 g, 58%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3):All H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H 0.95 - 0.99 Å), and refined in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2-1.5 Ueq(C) .

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. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In recent years, considerable research has been put into the design and elaboration of new organic ligand-based crystal materials because of their importance in supramolecular chemistry, materials science and solid-state chemistry (Desiraju, 2007; Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001). It is well known that the construction of such materials strongly depends on the nature of organic bridging units. In this regard, considerable attention has been devoted to the design of new functional N-heterocyclic organic bridging units. Among of them, pyridines are useful building blocks, which are frequently employed in the construction of some interesting metal-organic frameworks and organic crystals (Frisch & Cahil, 2008; Shattock et al., 2008; Shirman et al., 2008). Herein, we report a new pyridine compound which could be applied for the preparation of metal-organic and organic crystals.
In the title molecule, (I) (Fig. 1), two pyridine rings form dihedral angles of 80.8 (1) and 83.5 (1)°, respectively, with the central benzene ring. The intermolecular C—H···O interaction (Table 1) links adjacent molecules into chains along the direction [001].
