Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₀H₁₃BrClNO, the azomethine double bond [C=N = 1.246 (4) Å] adopts an E conformation. The bromo- and chlorophenyl rings are inclined to one another by 13.70 (11)°, and form dihedral angles of 76.68 (10) and 74.24 (7)°, respectively, with the phenyl ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C-HO hydrogen bonds to form double stranded chains propagating along the b-axis direction.
