In the title compound, C12H14BN, the complete molecule is generated by a crystallographic twofold axis, with two C atoms, the B atom and the N atom lying on the rotation axis. The dihedral angle between the borabenzene and pyridine rings is 81.20 (6)°. As well as dative electron donation from the N atom to the B atom [B—N = 1.5659 (18) Å], the methyl substituents on the lutidine ring shield the B atom, which further stabilizes the molecule. In the crystal, weak aromatic π–π stacking between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid separation = 3.6268 (9) Å] is observed, which generates [001] columns of molecules.
