In the title compound, C15H14ClN, the conformation about the C=N bond is trans and the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 51.48 (4)°. In the crystal, some very weak C—H⋯π interactions may help to establish the packing.

Equimolar quantities of 2,3-dimethylaniline and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde were refluxed in methanol for 45 min resulting in yellow solution. The solution was kept at room temperature which affoarded colourless prisms of (I) after 48 h.
All H-atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93, 0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.2 for aryl and x = 1.5 for methyl H-atoms. From the observation of difference Fourier map, it was concluded that H-atoms of one of the ortho methyl are disordered.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
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. |

In continuation to synthesize various Schiff bases (Tariq et al., 2010) of 2,3-dimethylaniline, the title compound (I, Fig. 1) is being reported.
The crystal structure of p-chlorobenzylideneaniline (Bürgi, et al., 1968), p-cyano-N-(p-chlorobenzylidene)aniline (Ojala et al., 2001) and 4-((4-Chlorobenzylidene)amino)phenol (Kazak et al., 2004) have been published which contain the chloro group at para position. The title compound differs from these due to substitutions at the aniline.
In (I), the 2,3-dimethylanilinic group A (C1—C8/N1) and the p-chlorobenzaldehyde B (C9—C15/CL1) are planar with maximum r. m. s. deviations of 0.0121 and 0.0071 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B is 51.48 (4)°. The molecules are essentially monomer with no appreciable intra-molecular H-bonding. The phenyl ring of 2,3-dimethylaniline has longer bond length [1.375 (3)–1.399 (2) Å] as compared to the phenyl ring of p-chlorobenzaldehyde [1.364 (4)–1.386 (3) Å]. The observed value of C═N bond is 1.264 (3) Å. All these bond lengths are compareable with 2,3-dimethyl-N-[(E)-(4-nitrophenyl)methylidene]aniline (Tariq et al., 2010). The molecules are stabilized due to C—H···π interactions (Table 1). The H-atoms of the methyl at ortho position are disordered over two set of sites with occupancy ratio 0.60 (3):0.40 (3).
