Crystal structure of 1,3-bis-[(E)-benzyl-idene-amino]-propan-2-ol.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C₁₇H₁₈N₂O, the central carbon atom with the OH substituent and one of the (E)-benzyl-idene-amino substituents are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.851 (4) and 0.149 (4). The relative positions of the two disorder components is equivalent to a rotation of approximately 60° about the C-N single bond. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are held together by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming simple C(5) chains along the b-axis direction. In addition, pairs of the chains are further aggregated by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
