Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (Z)-6-[(2-hy-droxy-4-methyl-anilino)-methyl-idene]-4-methyl-cyclo-hexa-2,4-dien-1-one.
The title compound, C15H15NO2, is a Schiff base that exists in the keto-enamine tautomeric form and adopts a Z configuration. The mol-ecule is almost planar, with the two phenyl rings twisted relative to each other by 9.60 (18)°. There is an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond present forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol-ecules into inversion dimers with an R 2 2(18) ring motif. The dimers are linked by very weak π-π inter-actions, forming layers parallel to (01). Hirshfeld surface analysis, two-dimensional fingerprint plots and the mol-ecular electrostatic potential surfaces were used to analyse the inter-molecular inter-actions, indicating that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (55.2%), C⋯H/H⋯C (22.3%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (13.6%) inter-actions.
