2-[(4-Ethyl-phenyl)imino-methyl]-3,5-Dimethoxy-phenol

Abstract

The title compound, C17H19NO3, adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form, with a resonance-assisted O - H⋯N intra-molecular hydrogen bond [O⋯N = 2.551 (3) Å]. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 45.42 (7)°. The two meth-oxy groups are coplanar with the attached benzene ring [C - O - C - C torsion angles = -1.1 (5) and 3.2 (4)°].
