4-[(4-Methyl-benz-yl)amino]-3-[(4-methyl-benz-yl)imino-meth-yl] -2H-chromen-2-one

Abstract

The title compound, C26H24N2O2, was prepared from the reaction of 4-chloro-3-formyl-coumarin with p-methyl-benzyl-amine. Even though there are no strong and specific inter-actions in the crystal structure, the translationally related mol-ecules form chains along the b axis. The coumarin moieties are stacked through π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5275 (7) Å], forming layers perpendicular to the stacking direction.
