Abstract: The molecule of the title compound, C14H10N2O2, adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two benzene rings is 13.84 (13)°. A strong intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen-bonding interaction stabilizes the molecular conformation. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related molecules are linked into dimers by intermolecular C-H...O and O-H...N hydrogen bonds.
