Abstract

In the title solvate, C₁₆H₁₈N₂O₂·CH₄O, the dihedral angles between the formamidine backbone and the pendant 2-meth-oxy-phenyl and 2,6-di-methyl-phenyl groups are 14.84 (11) and 81.61 (12)°, respectively. In the crystal, the components are linked by C-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯ π hydrogen bonds, generating a supra-molecular chain that extends along the crystallographic a-axis direction.

Keywords: Zwitterion; crystal structure; unsymmetrical hydroxyformamidine.
