Abstract: The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₂, is stabilized in the solid state as an enol-imine tautomer, with a strong intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bond, one C-HN and three C-HO intermolecular hydrogen bonds, generating edge-fused [S(6)R₂²(8)R₂²(8)R₂¹(6)] motifs. The molecule is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle of 4.40 (10)° between the two aromatic rings.
