2-[(E)-(4-Methylphenyl)iminomethyl]-6-(morpholin-4-ylmethyl)phenol

Abstract

In the title compound, C19H22N2O2, the morpholine ring adopts an almost perfect normal chair conformation with puckering parameters Q(T), theta and phi of 0.5642 (18) angstrom, 177.32 (17) and phi = 10 (4)degrees, respectively. The two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 42.67 (8)degrees with each other. An intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bond helps to stabilize the molecular conformation. Aromatic C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions and pi-pi stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6155 (15) angstrom] between the benzene rings contribute to the stabilization of the crystal structure.
