The molecules of the title compound, C16H18N2, exists in a trans conformation with respect to the C=N bond [1.270 (3) Å]. The least-squares plane of the dimethylamino group makes a dihedral angle of 1.3 (2)° with the ring to which it is attached. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 11.70 (2)°. The crystal structure features weak C—H...π interactions.
