Özet
The title compound, C12H10N4O, is a Schiff base obtained from the condensation of diamino-maleonitrile and 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-benzaldehyde. The molecule is roughly planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0354 Å, and adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form. An intra-molecular O - H?N hydrogen bond involving the O - H group and the azomethine N atom generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, there are two N - H?N hydrogen bonds. © Aazam and Büyükgüngör 2012.
