title: (Z)-1-Phenyl-3-(3-pyridyl-meth-ylamino)-but-2-en-1-one.
abstract: The reaction of 3-C(5)H(4)NCH(2)NH(2) and C(6)H(5)COCH(2)COCH(3) affords the title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O. The O=C-C=C-N portion is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.046 (2) Å] and is aligned at dihedral angles of 22.6 (1) and 78.9 (1)° to the phenyl and pyridyl rings, respectively. The N-H and O=C groups are linked by an intra-molecular hydrogen bond. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions occur.
