Description
Summary:The title compound, C27H31N3, has E substitution at each imine double bond where the two N atoms adopt a trans–trans relationship. The benzene rings are twisted out of the mean plane of the pyridine ring; the mean planes of the aromatic groups are rotated by 63.0 (1) and 72.58 (8)°. The crystal structure is sustained mainly by C—H...π and hydrophobic methyl–methyl interactions.
