In the title molecule, C15H17NO, the cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation. The cyano and methyl groups at position 1 have axial and equatorial orientations, respectively. The benzene ring has an equatorial orientation. A C—H...π interaction involving the benzene ring is found in the crystal structure.
