In the title compound, C19H19NO5, the amide carbonyl O atom is positioned anti to the other two carbonyl O atoms. The 4-hy-droxy-hydro-cinnamate fragment is disordered over two positions with an occupancy ratio of 0.729 (12):0.271 (12). The N-(C=O)-C plane of the acetamide group and the acetate O-(C=O)-C plane are almost co-planar; the acetamide plane makes dihedral angles of 1.9 (6) and 16.0 (...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, [Zn(C(28)H(30)N(2)O(2))(CH(3)COCH(3))], lies across a mirror plane with the Zn(II) ion and the acetone mol-ecule on the mirror plane. The Zn(II) ion is in a five-coordinate distorted square-pyramidal N(2)O(3) environment, with the two imine N and two phenolic O atoms of the tetra-dentate Schiff base dianion in the basal plane and the acetone mol-ecule in the...
