Figure 1
The structure of the title compound, with displacement ellipsoids for non-H atoms at the 30% probability level. Only one orientation for methyl groups C7 and C8 is retained. The inset is the distribution for the N—O bond lengths of pyridine N-oxide derivatives in the organic subset of the CSD (updated May 2016; Groom et al., 2016). 673 hits were retrieved for which the O atom gives a single bond, affording 904 raw data. Eight outliers were omitted, and the 896 used data gave a mean value for the N—O bond length of 1.316 Å. The red line locates the bond length in the title compound. |
