Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C27H24N4O2·0.5C2H6O, comprises two crystallographically independent molecules (A and B) with slightly different conformations, and one ethanol molecule of crystallization. Intramolecular C—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds generate six- and eight-membered rings, producing S(6) and S(8) ring motifs, respectively. In molecule A, one of the benzene rings is disordered over two positions, with site-occupancy factors of 0.542 (11) and 0.458 (11). The dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the two outer benzene rings are 73.88 (9) and 82.6 (2)/88.9 (2)° in molecule A, and 80.81 (8) and 79.38 (8)° in molecule B. In the crystal structure, molecules form infinite one-dimensional chains in the (101) plane. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O—H...N, N—H...N, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, weak C—H...π and π–π [centroid–centroid = 3.5496 (1) Å] interactions.
