N-[4-(Phenyl-imino-meth-yl)phen-yl]acetamide 0.67-hydrate.

The title compound, C(15)H(14)N(2)O·0.67H(2)O, was prepared by the reaction of 4-acetoamine-benzaldehyde and aniline. The asymmetric unit contains six organic mol-ecules and four water mol-ecules. The dihedral angles between the aromatic ring planes in each organic mol-ecule vary from 42.4†(2) to 53.8†(2)°. In the crystal, an extensive network of inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into [010] chains.
