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

In the title compound, C₂₆H₃₆N₄O₂, 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.
