(E)-Methyl 2-({2-eth­oxy-6-[(E)-(hy­droxy­imino)­meth­yl]phen­oxy}meth­yl)-3-phenyl­acrylate

In the title compound, C(20)H(21)NO(5), the dihedral angle between the mean planes through the two rings is 47.1 (8)°. The enoate group assumes an extended conformation. The hy­droxy­ethanimine group is essentially coplanar with the benzene ring, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.061 (1) Å for the O atom. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into cyclic centrosymmetric dimers with an R (2) (2)(6) motif via pairs of O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form a C(8) chain along the b axis. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions.
