In the title compound, C(20)H(17)N(3)O(3), 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, inter-molecular amine N-H⋯N(nitrile) hydrogen-bonding inter-actions form inversion dimers, which are linked into chains through amine N-H⋯O(meth-oxy) hydrogen bonds.
