The allyl-carbonate arms are fully disordered over two sets of sites, reflecting a large degree of rotational freedom about σ bonds [occupancies: 0.665 (9)/0.335 (9) for one substituent, 0.564 (9)/0.436 (9) for the other]. In contrast, the hexyl chain is ordered, and presents the common all-trans extended conformation. The benzene rings connected via the imine group make a dihedral angle of 9.64 (11)°. In the crystal, the Y-shaped mol-ecules are weakly associated into centrosymmetric dimers through pairs of C-H⋯O(hex-yl) contacts. The resulting layers of dimers, approximately parallel to (25), are closely paActa crystallographica.
