O, the pyridine ring is inclined to the mean plane of the amide moiety [N—C(=O)C] by 17.60 (8)°. There is an intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond present involving the carbonyl O atom. In the crystal, molecules 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).
