Abstract: The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₂, was isolated from the reaction between 4-methylphenyldiazonium nitrite and salicylaldehyde in sodium hydroxide. Structural analysis revealed a nearly planar molecule with the aromatic rings in trans positions about the azo group. The molecular packing shows interdigitated stacks of 12-membered hydrogen-bonded dimers.
