Abstract: In the Schiff base molecule of the title compound, C₃₆H₄₈N₂O₂·C₃H₆O, the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 46.64 (10) and 49.34 (10)° with the two outer benzene rings, and the two outer benzene rings form an angle of 39.13 (8)°. There are two intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds involving the two hydroxy groups, which generate S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal structure, the Schiff base molecules are linked into a chain along the a axis by C-H interactions. The acetone solvent molecules are attached to the chain via C-HO hydrogen bonds.
