2-[4-(2-Meth­oxy­phen­yl)piperazin-1-yl]-N-(pyridin-2-yl)acetamide

In the title compound, C(18)H(22)N(4)O(2), the piperizine ring adopts a chair conformation and the dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings is 67.6 (9)°. The conformations of the attachment of the anisole and N-ethyl­pyridin-2-amine groups to the piperazine ring are (+)anti­periplanar. Intra­molecular C—H⋯O and N—H⋯N inter­actions occur. In the crystal, inter­molecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds are present. There are two crystallographically independent but identical mol­ecules per asymmetric unit.
