Description
Summary:The title compound, C23H21N3O2, is constructed about an almost planar disubstituted amino­urea residue (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0201 Å), which features an intra­molecular amine-N—H...N(imine) hydrogen bond. In the `all-trans' chain connecting this to the terminal meth­oxy­benzene residue, the conformation about each of the imine and ethyl­ene double bonds is E. In the crystal, amide-N—H...O(carbon­yl) hydrogen bonds connect centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules into dimeric aggregates, which also incorporate ethyl­ene-C—H...O(amide) inter­actions. The dimers are linked by amine–phenyl-C—H...π(imine–phen­yl) and meth­oxy­benzene-C—H...π(amine–phen­yl) inter­actions to generate a three-dimensional network. The importance of C—H...π inter­actions in the mol­ecular packing is reflected in the relatively high contributions made by C...H/H...C contacts to the Hirshfeld surface, i.e. 31.6%.
