(E)-4-Methoxy-2-(p-tolyliminomethyl)phenol

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C(15)H(15)NO(2), adopts the enol-imine tautomeric form and has a strong intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bond as a result. The molecule is almost planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.1038 (15) angstrom for the methoxy C atom. A weak C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interaction and a weak C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond are present in the crystal.
