Abstract

In the title compound, C16H17NO4, the dihedral angle between benzene rings is 72.7 (2)°. The meth-oxy groups are rotated by 2.4 (2) and -4.9 (2) (benzil-idene moiety) and by 5.6 (3)° (aniline moiety) relative to the adjacent benzene ring. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into chains along [101] through C-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
