N '-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-2-hydroxy-alpha-oxo-alpha-phenylacetamidine

Abstract

The structure of the title compound, C16H16N2O2, consists of a dimeric arrangement around an inversion centre of acetamidine molecules linked via O-H...N hydrogen bonds. There are also H...pi-ring interactions. All these interactions result in the formation of infinite chains parallel to the (101) axis. The oxime group has an E conformation.
