In the title compound, C17H20N2O, the molecular core is planar, with a central C—N=C—C torsion angle of 179.3 (3)°. However, the overall geometry is not planar, with a dihedral angle of 61.96 (1)° between the two benzene rings, which adopt a trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond [1.269 (4) ]. The bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges
