title: (Z)-3-[(2-Amino-benz-yl)amino]-1-phenyl-but-2-en-1-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C17H18N2O, the aromatic rings are almost normal to one another, making a dihedral angle of 89.00 (8)°. There is an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond in the mol-ecule enclosing an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010].
