Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 296 K; mean (C-C) = 0.003 Å; R factor = 0.049; wR factor = 0.140; data-to-parameter ratio = 17.1.The title compound, C 15 H 13 N 3 O 3 , exists in the E conformation with respect to the azomethane C=N double bond. The pyridyl and phenyl rings form dihedral angles of 35.67 (8) and 36.65 (7) , respectively with the central C( O)N 2 C unit. In the crystal, N-HÁ Á ÁO and C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds connect the molecules into chains along the b axis. Another C-HÁ Á ÁO interaction connects molecules along the c-axis direction, forming layers.
