Abstract
The title chiral photochromic Schiff base compound, C16H17NO2, was synthesized from (R)-1-phenylethylamine and 5-methoxysalicylaldehyde. The molecule of the title compound exists in the phenol–imine tautomeric form. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 62.61 (11)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond with an O⋯N distance of 2.589 (2) Å is observed. The crystal packing is stabilized by C—H⋯π interactions involving the aromatic ring.
