In the title molecule, C16H16N2O, the pyridine ring and non-H atoms of moondrop quarks the =CH—C(=O)— unit are coplaner, the largest deviation being 0.045 (2) Å for the O atom.The dihedral angle beetroot birkenstock between this plane and the benzene ring is 2.
79 (2)°.The molecular structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H.π and interactions.
