In the title molecule, C13H12N2, all non-H atoms, except for those of the pyridine ring, are essentially coplanar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.025 Å. The mean plane of these atoms forms a dihedral angle of 80.98 (4)° with the pyridine ring. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯π interactions link the molecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
Keywords: crystal structure; 2-pyridinemethanamine; C—H⋯π interactions.

The synthesis of the title compound was first reported by Pointeau et al. (1986) who described the isolation of an oily mixture of both E and Z isomers. Ménard et al. (1994) provided additional synthetic and characterization details for the title compound.
such as the title compound are ideal in the preparation of six coordinate stannanes. The bidentate ligand acts to moderate the by providing additional electron density to Sn, while at the same time reducing nucleophilic attack from species such as water. The incorporation of this ligand would change the at the Sn centre from tetrahedral to a pseudo octahedral. The isolation of only a single isomer in the of the title molecule may be a result of the dehydrating conditions of the reaction where all evolved moisture from the condensation was absorbed by activated molecular sieves.The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. In the molecule, all non-H atoms except for those of the pyridine ring are essentially coplanar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.025 Å and the mean plane of these atoms (C8–C13/C7/N2/C6) forms a dihedral angle of 80.98 (4)° with the pyridine ring (N1/C1–C5).
In the crystal, weak C—H···π interactions link molecules forming a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2).
In a sealed 100 ml 3-neck round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar, 5 grams of 4Å molecular sieves were flamed dried and placed under dynamic vacuum for over 1 hr. Dried CH2Cl2 (25 mL), benzaldehyde (900 mg, 8.48 mmol) and 2-picolylamine (917 mg, 8.48 mmol) were placed into a flask and stirred for 12 hr under N2. The resulting slurry was then filtered through Celite and the organic layer washed with 1N NaCl (2 x 10 ml). The solution was then filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum to yield colourless needle crystals. Analysis by NMR spectroscopy (1H NMR) was similar to that previously reported by Pointeau et al. (1986).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
