Abstract
The title Schiff base, C17H14N2O3, exists as an NH tautomer with the H atom of the phenol group transferred to the imine N atom. The iminium H atom is involved in a strong intramolecular N+—H...O− hydrogen bond to the phenolate O atom, forming an S(6) motif. In the crystal structure, N—H...O hydrogen bonds form a C(9) chain parallel to [100] and a C(11) chain parallel to [010], while C—H...O hydrogen bonds form a C(11) chain parallel to [010]. The combination of N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds generates R43(30) rings parallel to the ab plane
