title: Crystal structure of N (1)-phenyl-N (4)-[(quinolin-2-yl)methyl-idene]benzene-1,4-di-amine.
abstract: In the title compound, C22H17N3, the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the terminal phenyl ring and quinoline ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å) are 44.72 (7) and 9.02 (4)°, respectively, and the bond-angle sum at the amine N atom is 359.9°. In the crystal, the N-H group is not involved in hydrogen bonding and the mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions, generating [010] chains.
