4,6-Dibromo-N-{3-[(4,6-dibromo-2,3-dimethylphenyl)imino]butan-2-ylidene}-2,3-dimethylaniline

Abstract

The title compound, C20H20Br4N2, is a product of the condensation reaction of 4,6-dibromo-2,3-dimethylaniline and butane-2,3-dione. The molecule has a center of symmetry at the mid-point of the central C—C bond. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the 1,4-diazabutadiene plane is 78.3 (2)°. Niether hydrogen bonding nor aromatic stacking is observed in the crystal structure.
