4-Methoxy-N-(2-nitrobenzylidene)aniline

Abstract

The title compound, C14H12N2O3, was prepared by reaction of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde with 4-methoxybenzenamine at 377 K. The molecule has an E configuration, with a dihedral angle between the two benzene rings of 43.3 (5)°. An intermolecular C—H...O interaction links molecules in zigzag chains down the a axis.
