Crystal structure of (Z)-3-benzyloxy-6-[(2-hydroxy-5-methylanilino)methylidene]cyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-one

Abstract

In the title Schiff base compound, C21H19NO3, the conformation about the C=C bond isZ. The N—H group and carbonyl O atom form an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond with anS(6) ring motif. The benzyloxy ring and the 2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl ring are inclined to the central six-membered ring by 13.68 (9) and 9.13 (8)°, respectively, and to one another by 21.95 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming helical chains along [010].
