N-Ethyl-N-phenyl-N′-tosyl­formamidine

Abstract

The title compound, C16H18N2O2S, was obtained as an unexpected product while attempting to form carbon–nitro­gen bonds by catalytic amidation. The mol­ecule displays an E conformation about the C=N double bond. The planes of the two aromatic rings in the mol­ecule form a dihedral angle of 47.06 (9)°
