Abstract

Molecules of the title compound, C14H13NO2, are nearly planar. The molecular structure is stabilized by a strong intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bond between the imine and hydroxyl groups [O...N = 2.614 (2) Angstrom]. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds [O...O = 2.681 (3) and 2.641 (3) Angstrom] link inversion-related molecules into chains parallel to the a axis.
