Crystal structure of N¹-phenyl-N⁴-[(quinolin-2-yl)methyl­idene]benzene-1,4-di­amine

In the title compound, C₂₂H₁₇N₃, the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the terminal phenyl ring and quinoline ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å) are 44.72 (7) and 9.02 (4)°, respectively, and the bond-angle sum at the amine N atom is 359.9°. In the crystal, the N—H group is not involved in hydrogen bonding and the mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H...π inter­actions, generating [010] chains.
