title: Crystal structure of 1,3-bis-[(E)-4-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene-amino]-propan-2-ol.
abstract: The title Schiff base, C19H22N2O3, was synthesizedviathe condensation reaction of 1,3-di-amino-propan-2-ol with 4-meth-oxy-benzaldehyde using water as solvent. The mol-ecule exists in anE,Econformation with respect to the C=N imine bonds and the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 37.25 (15)°. In the crystal, O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into infiniteC(5) chains propagating along thea-axis direction. The packing of these chains is consolidated by C-H⋯O inter-actions and C-H⋯π short contacts, forming a three-dimensional network.
