Abstract: In the structure of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₅NO₂, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 86.8 (1)°. An intramolecular methylene-oxime C-HO hydrogen bond stabilizes the molecular structure. Intermolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds between oxime subunits cluster the molecules into R₂²(6) dimers. Aromatic-aromatic stacking interactions are also observed in the packing [interplanar distance 3.344 Å, slippage 4.107 Å, centroid-to-centroid distance 5.297 (2) Å] and these, combined with the O-HN hydrogen bonds, form a one-dimensional array of molecules along the b axis.
