N-[2-(Diphenyl­phosphanyl)benzyl­idene]-4-methyl­aniline

The title compound, C₂₆H₂₂NP, is a Schiff base derived from triphenyl­phosphine with a 4-methyl­phenyl­amine group attached to one of the benzene rings of the phosphine in the o-position. The azomethine C=N bond length is 1.259 (3) Å and the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and its 4-methyl­phenyl­amine substituent is 40.02 (2) Å. The geometry at the P atom is approximately tetra­hedral.
