Abstract

The title compound, C(14)H(13)NO(2), adopts the enol-imine tautomeric form, with an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond which generates an S(6) ring motif. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 7.85 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional array that stacks along the a axis. In addition, a C-H⋯π inter-action contributes to the stabilization of the crystal packing.
