title: (6E)-N-[(4Z)-2,5-Dimethyl-4-(p-tolyl-imino)cyclo-hexa-2,5-dienyl-idene]-4-methyl-aniline.
abstract: The title compound, C(22)H(22)N(2), was prepared by the reaction of 4-amino-toluene with sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and potassium permanganate. The mol-ecule is disposed about a crystallographic inversion centre with one half-mol-ecule comprising the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the terminal and central benzene rings is 88.05 (1)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by van der Waals forces.
