Abstract

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(25)H(34)N(2)O(6), adopts a fully extended configuration. The oxime (-CH=N-O-) group is coplanar with the aromatic ring and the two benzene rings are almost parallel, making a dihedral angle of 0.16 (3)°. In the crystal structure, strong intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate six-membered S(6) ring motifs. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link each mol-ecule to five others, forming an infinite three-dimensional supra-molecular structure. The crystal is further stabilized by π-π stacking inter-actions between neighbouring benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.744 (2) Å].
