(E)-2-{1-[(4-Ethoxyphenyl)imino]ethyl}phenol

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C16H17NO2, contains two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Both molecules adopt the phenol-imine tautomeric form, with strong intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is stabilized by van der Waals interactions.
