The title complex, [Cu(C19H24N2O2)]2.2C2H5OH, is a centrosymmetric dimer. Each Cu atom is coordinated by two N and two O atoms from the amine-phenol ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry with a fifth axial bond to an O atom of the ligand coordinated by the other Cu atom. The ethanol molecule is hydrogen bonded to a phenol O atom and an amine N atom. The dihedral angle between the two CuN2O2 equatorial planes is 25.7 (1)°.
