1,4‐Bis[3‐(N‐ethyliminomethyl)‐2‐hydroxy‐5‐methylbenzyl]piperazine

In the title compound, C 26 H 36 N 4 O 2 , the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation with the substituents at the N atoms both lying in equatorial positions so that the molecule has an extended conformation and is pseudo-centrosymmetric. The two phenyl rings lie almost in a plane making a dihedral angle of 9.06 (3)°. The structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonding, as well as van der Waals interactions.
