Abstract

The mol-ecule of the title Schiff base compound, C14H14N2O2, displays an E conformation with respect the imine C=N double bond. The mol-ecule is approximately planar, with the dihedral angle formed by the planes of the pyridine and benzene rings being 5.72 (6)°. There is an intra-molecular hydrogen bond involving the phenolic H and imine N atoms.

Keywords: N-heterocycle; Schiff base; crystal structure; intra­molecular hydrogen bond.
