Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₇N₃O, the dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 11.22 (14)°. Apart from the methyl H atoms, the molecule is close to planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.145 (3) Å. Intramolecular C-HO and C-HN interactions occur. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-HN hydrogen bonds occur, resulting in an R₂²(12) ring motif. Further C-HN and C-HO bonds generate R₁²(7) and R₂²(22) motifs and a C-H interaction also occurs.
