In the title compound, C14H11Cl2N, the dihedral angle between the 4-methylanilinic and 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde moieties is 7.37 (8)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯π interactions between the terminal methyl group and a symmetry-related ring of the anilinic group help to establish the packing.

Equimolar quantities of 4-methylaniline and 2,4-dichlorobanzaldehyde were refluxed in methanol for 30 min resulting in yellow solution. The solution was kept at room temperature which affoarded light yellow needles after 72 h.
The H-atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl H-atoms and x = 1.2 for aryl H-atoms.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

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. |

As a part of our on going project related to synthesize various Schiff bases of 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde as possible ligands for complexing metals (Hayat et al., 2010), we report here the title compound.
In the title compound, the 4-methylanilinic group A (C1—C7/N1) and 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde moiety B (C8—C14/CL1/CL2) are planar with r. m. s. deviation of 0.0114 and 0.0209 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B is 7.37 (8)°. The title compound essentially consists of monomers (Fig. 1). There exist weak intramolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 1) forming an S(5) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). There also exists a C—H···π interaction (Table 1) which helps in consolidating the crystal packing. Bond distances and bond angles agree with related compounds already published as the 4-chloro-N-[(E)-2,4-dichlorobenzylidene]aniline (Hayat et al., 2010) and the N-(2,4-dichlorobenzylidene)aniline (Bernstein, 1972).
