Abstract: The two imine moieties of the title compound, C₁₈H₂₀N₄, are positioned equatorially on the chair-conformation cyclohexane ring. Both also show a trans configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. The molecule lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation in a non-centrosymmetric space group. The dihedral angle between the two least-squares planes of the pyridine rings is 56.6  (2)°.
