The title compound, C16H18N2O, an N-benzylideneaniline derivative with substituents on both aromatic rings, crystallizes with two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. Both molecules exist in the E configuration. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 8.20 (5)° for molecule A and 12.52 (6)° for molecule B, and the imino C—N torsion angle (τ) is 7.1 (2)° for molecule A and −14.7 (2)° for molecule B. In the crystal structure, molecules are arranged in stacks which propagate along the a-axis direction. The crystal structure is stabilized by a number of weak C—H⋯π interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
