(E)-2-[(4-Fluoro-phen-yl)Imino-methyl]-5-Methoxy-Phenol

Abstract

In the molecule of the title compound, C<inf>14</inf>H<inf>12</inf>FNO <inf>2</inf>, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 48.17 (1)°. An intra-molecular O - H⋯N hydrogen bond results in the formation of a six-membered ring. The title molecule is a phenol-imine tautomer, as evidenced by the C - O [1.351 (3) Å], C - N [1.282 (3) Å], and C - C [1.416 (3)-1.445 (3) Å] bond lengths. In the crystal, molecules are linked by inter-molecular C - H⋯π interactions.
