4-Ethoxy-N-(6-Methylquinolin-2-Ylmethylene)aniline

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title Schiff base, C<inf>19</inf>H<inf>18</inf>N<inf>2</inf>O, has been determined. The 6-methylquinoline group and formimidoyl moiety are almost planar, and the dihedral angle between the planes of ethoxyphenyl and 6-methyl-quinoline is 44.02 (8)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the C - H⋯N type forming a chain extending in the a direction.
