Abstract
The complete molecule of the title compound, C20H26N4, is generated by a crystallographic centre of inversion and the central eight-carbon chain adopts a fully extended conformation. In the crystal, the molecules pack in layers parallel to (010).

Experimental
1,8-Diaminooctane (0.145 g, 1 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (15 ml) and to this was added 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (0.215 g, 2 mmol). The mixture was heated for 4 h. The solid that formed was recrystallized from methanol in 70% yield; m.p. 393 K.
Refinement
H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C-H = 0.95-0.99 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with Uiso(H) set to 1.2Ueq(C).
