In the title compound, C18H17N3O, the dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 11.22 (14)°. Apart from the methyl H atoms, the molecule is close to planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.145 (3) Å. Intramolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N interactions occur. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds occur, resulting in an R22(12) ring motif. Further C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O bonds generate R12(7) and R22(22) motifs and a C—H⋯π interaction also occurs.

N-Phenyl-2-cyanoacetamide (1.60 g, 0.010 mol) and 4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (1.49 g, 0.010 mol) were dissolved in 50 ml of ethanol then heated to boiling before pipyridine (0.5 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 7 h, cooled then the precipitate was filtered and recrystalized from ethanol to yield red prisms of (I) [yield: 90%, m.p.: 382–384 K]. IR;ν (cm -1): 3348, 2941, 2890 (–C—H), 2198 (CN), 1671 (C=O), 1601 (C=C), 1580 (C=C).
The H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with N—H = 0.86 Å and C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å, and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(parent atom).

Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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. |

Organic dyes with donor–π-conjugation–acceptor (D–π–A) molecular structure have attracted much attention because of their inherent nonlinear optical characteristics, which are highly sensitive to changes in the external environment such as polarity and pH of media, due to their intrinsic character (e.g. Grabowski et al., 2003). They have been intensively developed for applications using as photo-(PL) and electroluminescent (EL) materials in the fields of dye laser (Moylan et al., 1996), fluorescent sonser and logic memory (Guo et al., 2007), and organic light-emitting device (OLED) (Kwak et al., 2008). The title compound, (I) (Fig. 1), is a representative of Push-Pull systems with dimethylamino group as a donor at one end of the conjugated system and cyano and carboonyl as acceptor at the other end.
The molecule of (I) contains a phenyl ring and a benzene ring which makes a dihedral angle of 11.22 (14)°. Except the methyl H atoms, the title molecule is almost planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.145 (3) Å for C12 and C13. The bond lengths and angles are in normal range (Allen et al., 1987). The molecules of the title compound form in which two N—H···N hydrogen bonds. The N—H···N, C—H···N and C—H···O interactions generates R22(12), R12(7) and R22(22) motifs (Fig. 2) (Bernstein et al. 1995). Fig. 3 shows the molecular packing for (I) viewed down the a axis showing the hydrogen bonding interactions (dashed lines). Molecules form a zigzag pattern along the b axis.
The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N—H···N, C—H···O and C—H···N hydrogen bonding, and C—H···π interactions (Table 1).
