(4-Methylpiperazin-1-yl)(2,3,4-trimethoxybenzylidene)amine

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H23N3O3, the piperazine ring is in a slightly distorted chair conformation and is twisted from the mean plane of the benzene ring making a dihedral angle of 14.94 (6)°. The 4-methoxy substituent is almost co-planar with the benzene ring [C—C—O—C torsion angle = 5.4 (1)°], while the methoxy groups at positions 2 and 3 [C—C—O—C torsion angles of 122.6 (4) and −66.1 (4)°, respectively] are twisted away from the mean plane of the benzene ring in anticlinical and synclinical conformations, respectively. No classical hydrogen bonds or any weak intermolecular interactions are observed in the crystal structure.
