The title compound, C16H18N2, is a non-symmetrically N,N'-disubstituted acetamidine having a phenyl and a bulky 2,6-di-methyl-phenyl as substituents on the two N atoms of the N-C-N linkage. It crystallizes in an E-syn configuration and its amidine C-N bonds present distinct amine [1.366 (1) Å] and imine [1.288 (1) Å] bond lengths. In the extended structure, strong N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into infinite C(4) chains propagating along the c-axis direction; weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also present in the crystal packing.

The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
