(E)-4-{[(Morpholin-4-yl)imino]-meth-yl}benzo-nitrile

In the title compound, C12H13N3O, the morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation and its mean plane is inclined to that of the benzene ring by 16.78?(12)°. The N—N=C—C bridge, which has an E conformation, has a torsion angle of 173.80?(19)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules stack along the a axis but there are no significant inter­molecular inter­actions present.
