In the title compound, C13H18N2O3, the benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 17.19 (11)° with the least-squares plane formed by the four C atoms of the morpholine ring, which adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into supramolecular chains running along a 21 screw axis parallel to the b-axis direction. Weak C—H⋯π inter­actions are also observed.

Comment top

As part of our continuing interest in the design and chemistry of Schiff bases containing a morpholine moiety, the title compound has been synthesized and its crystal structure is reported herein. In the title compound (Fig. 1), the benzene ring (C6–C11) makes a dihedral angle of 17.19 (11)° with the least-squares plane formed by the four C atoms of the morpholine ring (C1–C4/N1/O1), which adopts a chair conformation [the puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) are QT = 0.557 (3) Å, θ = 177.2 (3)°, ϕ = 177 (7)°]. The N1–N2–C5–C6, C10–C9–O2–C12 and C9–C10–O3–C13 torsion angles are -173.7 (2), 178.2 (3) and -178.9 (3)°, respectively. The bond lengths and bond angles are normal and comparable with those reported for related compounds (Akkurt et al. 2013, 2014). In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H···N hydrogen bonds forming supramolecular chains running along a 21 screw axis parallel to the [010] direction (Table 1, Fig. 2). In addition, weak C—H. . .π interactions also occur (Table 1).

Experimental top

Reaction of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (1.0 mmol) with morpholin-4-amine (1.0 mmol) in refluxing ethanol gave the title compound. Recrystallization from ethanol gave colourless crystals in 85 % yield.

Refinement top

All H atoms were located geometrically with C—H = 0.93-0.97 Å, and refined using a riding model with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) or 1.5 Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. Owing to the poor quality of the crystal, the data obtained were rather poor and the value of Rint remained high (0.229).

Special details top

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles

Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
