Abstract: The title compound, C₁₇H₁₉NO₃, adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form, with a resonance-assisted O-HN intramolecular hydrogen bond [ON = 2.551 (3) Å]. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 45.42 (7)°. The two methoxy groups are coplanar with the attached benzene ring [C-O-C-C torsion angles = -1.1 (5) and 3.2 (4)°].
