Abstract: The title compound, C₂₆H₂₂NP, is a Schiff base derived from triphenylphosphine with a 4-methylphenylamine group attached to one of the benzene rings of the phosphine in the o-position. The azomethine C=N bond length is 1.259  (3)  Å and the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and its 4-methylphenylamine substituent is 40.02  (2)  Å. The geometry at the P atom is approximately tetrahedral.
