(E)-2-[(4-Fluorophenyl)iminomethyl]-5-methoxyphenol

Abstract

In the molecule of the title compound, C14H12FNO 2, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 48.17 (1)°. An intra-molecular O - H?N hydrogen bond results in the formation of a six-membered ring. The title molecule is a phenol-imine tautomer, as evidenced by the C - O [1.351 (3) Å], C - N [1.282 (3) Å], and C - C [1.416 (3)-1.445 (3) Å] bond lengths. In the crystal, molecules are linked by inter-molecular C - H?? interactions.
