(E)-4-Bromo-N-(2,4-dimethoxy­benzyl­idene)aniline

The title Schiff base compound, C(15)H(14)BrNO(2), adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The C and O atoms of the two meth­oxy substituents lie very close to the dimethoxy­phenyl ring plane [maximum deviation = 0.17 (1) Å]. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 43.69 (16)°, while the plane through the central C—C=N—C system is inclined at 10.6 (6)° to the dimethoxy­phenyl ring and 34.6 (3)° to the bromo­phenyl ring. In the crystal structure, each mol­ecule is involved in the formation of two inversion-related dimers through weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O inter­actions, respectively. These contacts link the mol­ecules into independent rows parallel to the b axis.
