%X In the crystal structure of the title compound C15H27N3O4, the molecule is located on a twofold axis and the asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule, with one N and one C atom lying on the rotation axis. The pyridine ring is the hydrogen-bond acceptor, while two hydroxyl O atoms act as hydrogen-bond donors in intramolecular O¡ªH...N and intermolecular O¡ªH...N and O¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds, thereby forming a closed hydrogen-bonded cage.
