description In the title compound, C15H14N2O2, the 2,3-dimethylanilinic and benzaldehyde groups are planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0101 and 0.0241 Å, respectively, and are oriented at a dihedral angle of 11.69 (3)°. The nitro group is inclined to the benzaldehyde group by 34.02 (9)°. The molecule adopts an E configuration about the C=N bond. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H...O interactions, giving rise to the formation of zigzag polymeric chains extending along [010]. They are also linked by C—H...π, and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance of 3.7185 (11) Å] involving symmetry-related aniline and benzene rings. The H atoms of the ortho-methyl group are disordered over two sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.69 (2):0.31 (2).
