Abstract:
The title compound, C23H25N3O, crystallized with one single mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit and is present in the zwitterionic form. There is an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond in the mol-ecule with the phenol ring being inclined to the central benzene ring by 20.67 (14)°. The terminal amino-phenyl ring forms a dihedral angle of 54.21 (14)° with the central benzene ring. The two outer aromatic rings are inclined to one another by 74.54 (14)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with adjacent molecules related by a 21 screw axis, generating -A-B-A-B- zigzag chains extending along [010]. The chains are linked via C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.444 (3) Å] between the benzene ring and the imino group of symmetry-related mol-ecules, forming slabs lying parallel to (100).

Imines are formed under mildly acidic conditions. A pH of 4.5 is ideal for the reaction.
If the pH is low or the solution is too acidic, the reaction slows down in the...
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
As with other organic compounds, alcohols and...
