2-Fluoro-6-[(E)-(pyridin-2-yl)iminomethyl]phenol

Abstract

The title compound, C12H9FN2O, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the 16 non-H atoms = 0.019 Å), a conformation stabilized by an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds generate R22(16) loops.
