title: Crystal structure of 2,2-dimethyl-N-(pyridin-3-yl)propanamide.
abstract: In the title compound, C10H14N2O, the pyridine ring is inclined to the mean plane of the amide moiety [N-C(=O)C] by 17.60 (8)°. There is an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond present involving the carbonyl O atom. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100]. The tert-butyl group is disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.758 (12):0.242 (12).
