(Z)-6-[(2-Methoxyphenylamino)methylene]4-methylcyclohexa-2,4-dien-1(2H)-one monohydrate

Abstract

The title compound, C14H12N2O4 center dot H2O, is stabilized in the solid state as a keto - amine tautomer, with two strong intramolecular N - H center dot center dot center dot O, two intermolecular O - H center dot center dot center dot O and three intermolecular C - H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. The organic molecule is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle of 1.90 ( 8) degrees between the two carbocyclic rings. The water molecules lie on a twofold symmetry axis.
