(E)-5-Methoxy-2-(o-Tolyl-Imino-methyl)Phenol

Abstract

In the title compound, C<inf>15</inf>H<inf>15</inf>NO<inf>2</inf>, the phenol group make dihedral angles of 2.4 (2) and 24.1 (9)° with the imine linkage (-C=N-) and the phenyl group, respectively, and the molecule adopts the enol-imine tautomeric form, so the mol-ecular structure is stabilized by a strong intra-molecular O - H⋯N hydrogen bond. The crystal structure features a weak C - H⋯π inter-action.
