(E)-5-Methoxy-2-(o-tolyliminomethyl)phenol

Abstract

In the title compound, C(15)H(15)NO(2), the phenol group make dihedral angles of 2.4 (2) and 24.1 (9)degrees with the imine linkage (-C=N-) and the phenyl group, respectively, and the molecule adopts the enol-imine tautomeric form, so the molecular structure is stabilized by a strong intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bond. The crystal structure features a weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interaction.
