Abstract
The title compound, 2-methoxy-4-(p-tolyliminomethyl)phenol, contains two phenyl rings bridged by a C=N imino moiety, the planes of which are inclined at an angle of 40.26 (9)°, showing significant deviation of the molecule from planarity. The characteristic of aromatic Schiff bases with N-aryl substituents is that the terminal phenyl rings are twisted relative to the plane in which the C=N double bond lies. The hydroxy group is involved simultaneously in intramolecular and intermolecular three-centre hydrogen bonding with two acceptor atoms. Adjacent molecules are linked via an intermolecular O-H...N hydrogen bond [O1...N1 2.839 (3)A, O1-H1...N1 154.9°] forming infinite chains along the y axis.
