The molecular structure of the pyridine derivative, C19H15N3O4·C3H7NO, shows almost planar geometry with dihedral angles of 6.9 (1) and 13.4 (1)° between the pyridine ring and the two benzene rings. This conformation is stabilized by two intramolecular N—H...N(pyridine) bonds. In the crystal, strong O—H...O(carboxamide) and N—H...O(hydroxyphenyl) hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming a three-dimensional structure. The dimethylformamide solvent molecules are not involved in the hydrogen bonding. The structure shows pseudosymmetry, but refinement in the space group Pbcn leads to significantly worse results and a disordered dimethylformamide molecule.
