N-(4-Chlorobenzylidene)-4-methoxyaniline

Abstract

The title compound, C14H12ClNO, was prepared by the reaction of 4-methoxyaniline and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in ethanol at 367 K. The molecule is almost planar, with a dihedral angle between the two benzene rings of 9.1 (2)° and an r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane through all non-H atoms in the molecule of 0.167 Å.
