Crystal and molecular structure of N-[1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole]-3,5-di-t- butylsalicylaldimine

Abstract

A new compound N-[1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole]-3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldimine (C21H31N3O) has been obtained from the reaction of 5 mmol 3,5-DTB in 20 ml absolute ethanol and 5 mmol 1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole in 10 ml ethanol, with the addition of 3 - 4 drop of acetic acid. The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined by the X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n with lattice parameters a = 9.2609(8)Å, b = 22.665(2)Å, c = 10.0975(8)Å, b = 100.400(7) and Z = 4. 2009 © The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry.
