N-[4-(Dimethylamino)benzylidene]-4-ethoxyaniline

In the title compound, C(17)H(20)N(2)O, the mol-ecular core is planar, with a central C-N=C-C torsion angle of -179.3 (3)°. However, the overall geometry is not planar, with a dihedral angle of 61.96 (1)° between the two benzene rings, which adopt a trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond [1.269 (4) Å]. The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges.
