(E)-2-{[2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-ethyl-imino]methyl}phenol

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C11H 16N2O2, contains two independent conformational isomers which show intra-molecular aromatic-imine O - H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, neighboring molecules are linked through intermolecular aliphatic-aliphatic O - H⋯N, aliphatic-aromatic N - H⋯O and C - H⋯O interactions into hydrogen-bonded layers parallel to the ab plane. © Germán-Acacio et al. 2011.
