(E)-2-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-3-[(2-Pyridylimino)Methyl]Benzaldehyde

Abstract

The title compound, C14H12N2O2, is stabilized in the solid state as an enol-imine tautomer, with a strong intra-molecular O - H⋯N hydrogen bond, one C - H⋯N and three C - H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonds, generating edge-fused [S(6)R 2 2(8)R 2 2(8)R 2 1(6)] motifs. The mol-ecule is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle of 4.40 (10)° between the two aromatic rings. © International Union of Crystallography 2007.
