Abstract

In the crystal of the title compound, C(17)H(16)N(2), mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming rings of graph-set motifs R(2) (1)(6) and R(2) (2)(10). The title mol-ecule is close to planar, with a dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of 0.6 (1)°. Torsion angles confirm a conformational trans structure.
