2-Meth­oxy­imino-2-{2-[(2-methyl­phen­oxy)meth­yl]phen­yl}ethanol

In the title compound, C₁₇H₁₉NO₃, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 68.0 (1)°. The C—O—C—C torsion angle of the atoms joining these rings is 179.7 (2)°. The atoms of the methanol group were refined as disordered over two sets of sites with fixed occupancies of 0.86 and 0.14. The H atoms of the hy­droxy group in the major component are disordered over a further two sets of sites with equal occupancies. This is a necessary arrangement to allow for hydrogen bonding without unrealistic H...H contacts. In the crystal, O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds connect mol­ecules into chains along [001].
