Abstract

The title compound, C(29)H(30)N(2)O(4), adopts a distorted Z configuration with respect to the oxime group, which is almost coplanar with the adjacent naphthalene ring [dihedral angle = 4.11 (2)°]. There is one half-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit, with a crystallographic twofold rotation axis passing through the central C atom of the -CH=N-O-(CH)(5)-O-N=CH- bridge. Within the mol-ecule, the dihedral angle formed by the two naphthalene rings is 79.08 (3)°, and there are two intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
