Abstract

In the title pyridine derivative, C₁₅H₁₇NO₂·H₂O, the two OH groups are oriented in directions opposite to each other with respect to the plane of the pyridine ring. In the crystal, hydrogen bonds between the pyridine mol-ecule and the water mol-ecule, viz. O_hy-droxy-H⋯O_water, O_hy-droxy-H⋯O_hy-droxy, O_water-H⋯O_hy-droxy and O_water-H···N_pyridine, result in the formation of a ribbon-like structure running along [011].

Keywords: crystal structure; hydrogen bonding; pyridine; π–π stacking.
