title: 2,6-Bis[1-(2-methyl-phenyl-imino)eth-yl]pyridine.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(23)H(23)N(3), which was synthesized by the condensation reaction between 2,6-diacetyl-pyridine and 2-dimethyl-aniline, adopts an E configuration about both C=N imine bonds. The dihedral angles formed by the benzene rings with the pyridine ring are 89.68 (5) and 53.62 (6)°.
