title: 2-{5,5-Dimethyl-3-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethen-yl]cyclo-hex-2-enyl-idene}propane-dinitrile.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(18)H(17)N(3), with the exception of the -C(CH(3))(2) group, is nearly planar [maximum deviation: 0.208 (4), r.m.s. deviation 0.099 (6) Å] and the disubstituted C atom is displaced by 0.679 (2) Å from the mean plane through the remaining non-H atoms. In the crystal, the packing is stabilized by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
