5-Methoxy-2-[(2-morpholinoethyl)iminiomethyl]phenolate

N. Mohd Lair, H. Mohd Ali and S. W. Ng

Abstract: Each of the two independent molecules of the title comound, C₁₄H₂₀N₂O₃, exists in the zwitterionic form as the imino N atoms are protonated. The =N-H unit forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond to the negatively charged O atom, and also a weaker intermolecular N-HO bond, the latter resulting in inversion dimers.
