N,N-Bis(pyridin-2-ylmeth­yl)cyclo­hexa­namine

The pyridine rings of the title compound, C 18 H 23 N3, are in a nearly perpendicular orientation relative to the plane defined by the three amino-bonded C atoms, making dihedral angles of 87.4 (1) and 84.2 (1) . One of the pyridine N atoms acts as an hydrogen-bond acceptor for two pyridine C—H groups. By means of these intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the molecules form a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane.
