(E)-2-[2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyliminomethyl]-6-Methylphenol

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C15H15NO2, is not planar, displaying a dihedral angle of 21.21 (18)degrees between the two aromatic rings. The central N=C bond distance of 1.279 (4) angstrom is typical for an imine double bond. There are intramolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot N and intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds.
