In the title compound, C(25)H(18)Cl(2)N(2)O, the cyclo-hexene ring has a sofa conformation. All the substituents in the cyclo-hexene ring, except the cyano group (which is axial) occupy equatorial positions. The crystal structure is stabilized through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a chain extending along the b axis and through C-H⋯N and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions. It is remarkable that only one of the amino H atoms is involved in hydrogen bonding.
