The title compound, N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)-N,N′-dimethyl-1,2-ethanediamine, was synthesized and the crystal structure was determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 293 K. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 17.319(3)Å, b = 9.7041(17)Å, c = 13.352(2)Å, β = 114.032(3)°, V = 2049.4(6)Å3, Dx = 1.155 g/cm3, and Z = 4. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values are 0.0524 and 0.1629, respectively, for all 2432 independent reflections. The molecule is twisted at the ethylendiamine moiety of the ligand with a dihedral angle between the two phenolate planes of 13.58(7)°.
