In the title compound, C16H15N5, the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring has a shallow boat conformation, while the 1,3-diazinane ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal, pairwise N-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds generate centrosymmetric dimers featuring R-2(2)(12) motifs and C-H center dot center dot center dot N contacts connect these dimers to form double layers lying parallel to (001). Weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi and N-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions help to consolidate the double layers and van derWaals interactions occur between layers. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most significant contributions to the crystal packing are from H center dot center dot center dot H (38.5%), N center dot center dot center dot H/H center dot center dot center dot N (33.3%) and C center dot center dot center dot H/H center dot center dot center dot C (27.3%) contacts.
