N,N-Bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)cyclohexanamine

Abstract

The pyridine rings of the title compound, C18H 23N3, are in a nearly perpendicular orientation relative to the plane defined by the three amino-bonded C atoms, making dihedral angles of 87.4 (1)°and 84.2 (1)°. One of the pyridine N atoms acts as an hydrogen-bond acceptor for two pyridine C - H groups. By means of these intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the molecules form a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane. © 2012 International Union of Crystallography.
