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-HN and O-HO hydrogen bonds. One of the H atoms is also involved in an intermolecular hydrogen bond, which links the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.
