In the title compound, C18H21NO3, the C=N bond has a trans conformation and the benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 61.32 (6)°. The C atoms of the three methoxy groups are all roughly coplanar with their attached ring [deviations = 0.219 (2), −0.097 (2) and −0.137 (2) Å]. In the crystal, a weak C—H⋯π interaction may help to establish the packing.

Equimolar quantities of 2,3-dimethylaniline and 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde were refluxed in methanol for 45 min resulting in violet solution. The solution was kept at room temperature which affoarded colorless prisms of (I) after 48 h.
The H-atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93–0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = xUeq(C), where x = 1.5 for methyl and x = 1.2 for all other H-atoms.
We have reported crystal structures of
synthesized from 2,3-dimethylaniline (Tahir et al., 2010a, 2010b), (Tariq et al., 2010) and in continuation of this work, we report herein the structure and synthesis of the title compound (I, Fig. 1).In (I) the 2,3-dimethylaniline moiety A (C1–C8/N1) and the group B (C9—C15/O1/O2/O3) of 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde are planar with r. m. s. deviations of 0.0184 and 0.0103 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B is 61.32 (6)°. The title molecule essentially consists of monomers. The packing may be stabilized through weak C—H···π (Table 1) interactions.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

We have reported crystal structures of Schiff bases synthesized from 2,3-dimethylaniline (Tahir et al., 2010a, 2010b), (Tariq et al., 2010) and in continuation of this work, we report herein the structure and synthesis of the title compound (I, Fig. 1).
In (I) the 2,3-dimethylaniline moiety A (C1–C8/N1) and the group B (C9—C15/O1/O2/O3) of 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde are planar with r. m. s. deviations of 0.0184 and 0.0103 Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between A/B is 61.32 (6)°. The title molecule essentially consists of monomers. The packing may be stabilized through weak C—H···π (Table 1) interactions.
