In the crystal of the title compound, C17H16N2, molecules are linked by C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming rings of graph-set motifs R21(6) and R22(10). The title molecule is close to planar, with a dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of 0.6 (1)°. Torsion angles confirm a conformational trans structure.
