Crystal structure of 4-chloro-2-{(E)-[(3,4-dimethylphenyl)imino]methyl}phenol

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H14ClNO, which is isostructural with its bromo analogue [Tahir et al. (2012). Acta Cryst., E68, o2730], the dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic rings is 2.71 (7)° and an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, extremely weak C—H...π interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
