Description
Summary:The title compound, C15H15N, represents an E isomer. The molecule exhibits a minor [9.1 (2)%] disorder with methylbenzylidene and benzyl groups interchanging their positions. The C=N bond length is 1.292 (2) Å. The molecular geometry is essentially planar, with the maximal twist of 8.5 (3)° for the benzyl group. The herringbone packing arrangement does not exhibit any π-stacking interactions.
