(E)-4-Methyl-2-(N-phenylcarboximidoyl)phenol

Abstract

The title compound, C14H13NO, is not planar with the dihedral angle between the planes of the two aryl rings being 6.22 (11)°. The configuration about the imine bond is E. An intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) loop. In the crystal, molecules assemble into columns parallel to the a axis. The methyl group is disordered over two positions rotated from each other by 60°.
