Abstract

In the title compound, C(21)H(21)N(3)O(2), the pyridine rings and the benzene ring lie in a propeller arrangement around the central tertiary amine N atom. The dihedral angles formed by the benzene ring with the pyridine rings are 61.0 (3) and 49.6 (3)°, while the dihedral angle between the pyridine rings is 69.7 (3)°. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular bifurcated O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, inversion dimers are formed via pairs of C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
