3-(4-Acetylphenyliminomethyl)-1,2-dihydroxybenzene
Abstract
The molecule of the title compound, C15H13NO3, is not planar and the dihedral angle between the planes of the two aromatic rings is 53.93 (7)°. The molecule exists in the crystal structure in the phenol–imine tautomeric form and has two `active' H atoms, which participate in strong intramolecular O—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. One of the H atoms is also involved in an intermolecular hydrogen bond, which links the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
