(E)-2-{[(5-Chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)imino]methyl}-4-nitrophenol

Abstract

The title compound, C14H11ClN2O4, is a Schiff base. Its molecule is approximatelly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.096 (4) Å from planarity for the methyl C atom of the methoxy group. The dihedral angle between the 5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl ring and the phenol ring is 2.40 (10)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions consolidate the crystal packing.
