(Received 12 December 2009; accepted 30 December 2009; online 16 January 2010)

In the title compound, C13H14N2, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 48.1 (1)° and the bridging C—N—C bond angle is 127.24 (12)°. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding about a center of inversion generates a hydrogen-bonded dimer.

Experimental top

2-Chloro-4-methylpyridine (1 ml, 0.01 mol) and p-toluidine (1.2 g, 0.01 mol) were heated for 4 h. The product was dissolved in water and the solution extracted with ether. The ether extract was dried over sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave large blocks of dark brown crystals. The crystals, when the outer parts were removed, were colorless.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.93–0.96 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5U(C). The amino H-atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.86±0.01 Å; its temperature factor was refined.
