Abstract: The title compound, (p-MeC₆H₄)₂NC₆H₄CH=NNPh₂ or C₃₃H₂₉N₃, was synthesized by the reaction of 4-(di-p-tolylamino)benzaldehyde and 1,1-diphenylhydrazine. The molecule is the trans isomer with respect to the hydrazone double bond. The central NC₆H₄CH=N-N fragment is planar within 0.11 Å. The planes of the p-tolyl rings and one of the hydrazone phenyl rings form substantial dihedral angles (>60°) with the central plane of the molecule, whereas the second hydrazone phenyl ring is much closer to the central plane, the dihedral angle being 21.7 (3)°.
