The title compound was synthesized according to the method proposed by Brown & Dewar (1978). A mixture of 3-Nitro-4-methoxypyridine (5 g; 0.0325 mol), 10% palladium on carbon (500 mg), and dry methanol (125 ml) was hydrogenated for 6 h in a Parr apparatus at 50 psi. Filtration of the mixture through Celite and evaporation of the filtrate yielded the crude amine as a light tan oil or solid. The amine was stirred and refluxed in toluene (100 ml) with ethoxymethylenemalonic ester(EMME; 7 g; 0.0325 mol) for 24 hand then the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in boiling Skelly B, filtered by gravity, and cooled to room temperature. The title compound crystallized as fine, white platelets.
H atoms were positioned geometrically [N—H 0.86 Å; C—H 0.93-0.97 Å], and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2-1.5 Ueq(C, N).

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. |

β-Diketone as an chelating group has been widely used in supramolecular chemistry. Their metal complexes are used for the separation of elements with similar properties (Nishihama et al., 2001). These metal complexes have applications in materials science or act as NMR shift reagents (Soldatov et al., 2003). The tittle compound, (I), is a derivative of β-diketone. Herewith we present its crystal structure.
In (I) (Fig. 1), the amino group is involved in formation an intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 1). The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987) and correspond to those observed in the related compounds (Thenmozhi et al., 2009; Feng et al., 2010).
In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C—H···O and C—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link molecules into approximately planar ribbons along the b axis.
