In the title mol-ecule, C13H12N2, all non-H atoms, except for those of the pyridine ring, are essentially coplanar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.025 Å. The mean plane of these atoms forms a dihedral angle of 80.98 (4)° with the pyridine ring. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
Keywords: 2-pyridinemethanamine; C—H⋯π interactions; crystal structure.
