N-{4-[(E)-(4-Methyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phen-yl}acetamide.

ABSTRACT: There are two symmetry-independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O, that differ in conformation. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings in the two mol-ecules are 44.35?(19) and 48.14?(17)°, but the rings twist in opposite directions. The acetamide groups make nearly equal dihedral angles of 25.4?(3) and 25.7?(3)° with the parent benzene rings. An S(6) ring motif is formed in each mol-ecule by intra-molecular C-H?O close contacts. In the crystal, strong N-H?O hydrogen bonds between acetamide groups generate a C(4) chain motif arranging the mol-ecules into two symmetry-independent polymeric structures extending along [010].
