title: Ethyl 6-methyl-2-p-tolyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-5-carboxyl-ate.
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, C(18)H(18)N(2)O(2), the bicyclic ring system and the benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 13.45 (3)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into chains propagated along [201].
