In the title molecule, C22H20N2O, the central aromatic ring forms dihedral angles of 45.30 (2) and 69.43 (2)°, respectively, with the outer pyridine and benzene rings. In the weak intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions link the molecules into layers parallel to the ab plane.

For the preparation of 4-(N-ethyl-N-(4-((E)-2-(pyridin-4-yl) vinyl)phenyl)amino)benzaldehyde: A mixture of 4-(N-ethyl-N-(4-iodophenyl)amino)benzaldehyde (3.15 g, 10 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (0.0330 g), triethylamine (15 ml) and 4-vinylpyridine (15 ml) were heated at 363 K with CH3CN (40 ml) as solvent for 40 h under nitrogen. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and added to 500 ml water. Plentiful yellow solid was obtained by filtration. This was dissolved in dichloromethane. The solution was washed twice with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, then filtered and concentrated. The resulting solution was purified by flash
with dichloromethane as to give light yellow crystals (1.95 mg, yield 56%).All hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5 Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Nonlinear optical (NLO) organic materials have been extensively studied due to their broad applications in the area of electronics and photonics (Marder, 2006). It has been found that the delocalized conjugated electrons contribute to enhancing the NLO response through their capability for hyperpolarization. As a part of our ongoing investigation of NLO materials, the title compound has been prepared. Its crystal structure is presented here.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. Bond lengths and angles in the molecule are in agreement with the values reported in the literature (Allen et al., 1987). The C11—C14 and C15—C18 bond lengths are indicative of double-bond character. Therefore, there is a high electron delocalization in the π-system of the molecule. The dihedral angle formed by the pyridine ring and C8—C13 benzene ring is 45.30 (2)°.
In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H···O interactions (Table 1) link the molecules into layers parallel to ab plane.
