(N1E,N2E)-N1,N2-Bis(4-hexyloxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine

Abstract

The title compound, C30H44N2O4, was obtained from the dimerization of 4-hexyloxyvanillin with ethylenediamine in 95% methanol solution. It adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond and possesses a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry.
