In the title compound, C20H19NO2, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 77.12 (8)°. The terminal isopropyl group is disordered over two orientations, with site occupancies of 0.720 (14) and 0.280 (14). In the crystal, molecules are linked through a weak C—H⋯O interaction, forming a zigzag chain along the c-axis direction.

A solution of salicylaldehyde (1 equivalent) and potassium carbonate (1 equivalent) in acetonitrile solvent was stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature. To this solution, (Z)-methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-3-(4-isopropylphenyl)acrylate (1 equivalent) was added dropwise. After the completion of the reaction as indicated by TLC, acetonitrile was evaporated. Ethylacetate (15 ml) and water (15 ml) were added to the crude mass and extracted. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Removal of solvent led to the crude product which was purified through pad of silica gel (100–200 mesh) using ethylacetate and hexane (1:9) as solvents. The pure title compound was obtained as colorless solid (94%). Recrystallization was carried out using ethylacetate as solvent.
The site occupancy factors of disordered C atoms in the methyl groups were refined to C17 = 0.280 (14) and C17A = 0.720 (14), C18 = 0.280 (14) and C18A = 0.720 (14). The bond distances C16—C17, C16—C17A, C16—C18 and C16—C18A were restrained to 1.520 (5) Å and the contact distances C17···C18 and C17A···C18A were restrained to 2.48 (1) Å. H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic CH, C—H = 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for methine CH, C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for CH2 and C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for CH3. The components of the anisotropic displacement parameters in direction of the bond of C16, C17, C17A and C18A were restrained to be equal within an effective standard deviation of 0.001 using the DELU command in SHELXL (Sheldrick, 2008).

Cyanoacrylates and its derivatives have been widely used as agrochemicals (Zhang et al., 2009) and an important intermediate in drugs synthesis (Obniska et al., 2005).
The geometric parameters of the title molecule (Fig. 1) agree well with reported similar structure(Ye et al., 2009; Suresh et al., 2012; Govindan et al., 2012). The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings (C1—C6 & C10—C15) is 77.12 (8)°. The terminal methyl groups are disordered over two positions with the site occupancies of C17 = 0.280 (14) and C17A = 0.720 (14), C18 = 0.280 (14) and C18A = 0.720 (14). The crystal packing is through a weak intermolecular C—H···O interaction.
