1-[(Z)-(5-Methyl-2-pyridyl)iminiomethyl]-2-naphtholate

Abstract

In the zwitterionic title compound, C17H14N2O, the dihedral angle between the naphthalene and pyridine ring systems is 3.56 (9)° and an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O interactions.
