The title compound, C 14 H 16 N 2 , adopts a trans ‐planar conformation. However, the molecule, which possesses C i point group symmetry, crystallizes in the non‐centrosymmetric space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 . In the crystal structure, the molecular symmetry is only approximately retained. The crystal packing is predominantly stabilized by N—H·N hydrogen bonds. Weak C—H·π interactions also contribute to the stability.
