rac-N-[Hydroxy(4-pyridyl)methyl]picolinamide: a hemiamidal
The title compound, C12H11N3O2, a hemiamidal, was synthesized by solvent-free aldol condensation at room temperature by grinding picolinamide with isonicotinaldehyde in a 1:1 molar ratio.In the molecule, the two pyridine rings are inclined to one another by 58.75 (6)°.They are linked, at positions 2 and 4, by the hemiamidal bridg
