Abstract
In the title compound, C15H15NO, the almost planar 2,3-dimethylaniline unit and the salicylaldehyde group (r.m.s. deviations of 0.0156 and 0.0109 Å, respectively) are oriented at a dihedral angle of 43.69 (9)° with respect to each other. An S(6) ring motif is formed due to intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding. In the crystal, C—H⋯π interactions occur between the 2,3-dimethylaniline unit and the salicylaldehyde group, where the CH is from the o-methyl group.

Summary
Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 296 K; mean (C–C) = 0.009 A; R factor = 0.078; wR factor = 0.157; data-to-parameter ratio = 8.4. C15H15NO, the almost planar 2,3dimethylaniline unit and the salicylaldehyde group (r.m.s. deviations of 0.0156 and 0.0109 A , respectively) are oriented at a dihedral angle of 43.69 (9) with respect to each other. An S(6) ring motif is formed due to intramolecular O—HÁ Á ÁN hydrogen bonding. C—HÁ Á Á interactions occur between the 2,3-dimethylaniline unit and the salicylaldehyde group, where the CH is from the o-methyl group.
