In the title compound, C16H12N2O, the dihedral angle between the two aromatic ring systems is 68.54 (5)°. The molecular packing is stabilized by intra- and intermolecular O—H⋯N and intramolecular C—H⋯N hydrogen-bond interactions.

Quinoline-4-carboxaldehyde (1.0 mmol) was dissolved in hot absolute ethanol (5 ml) and an equimolar amount of 2-aminophenol dissolved in hot absolute ethanol (10 ml) was added. The mixture was refluxed at reaction temperature for 2 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC using n-hexane/ethylacetate (1:1 v/v) as λmax248, 343, 377 nm. IR (KBr): 3029, 2851, 1625, 1574 and1472, 1293–1165, 830 and 757 cm-1. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 200 MHz): δ(p.p.m.) 6.95–9.08 (m, ArH and CH, 11H), 9.41(s, OH, 1H). MS: m/z 249 (M+1), 248 (M+), 247 (M-1), 128 (M-120), 120 (M-128). Analysis calculated for C16H12N2O: C 77.40, H 4.87, N 11.28%; found: C 77.62, H 4.96, N 11.12% (Gümüş, 2002).
Upon completion of the reaction, the crude product which precipitated on cooling was collected by filtration. Further purification was accomplished by recrystallization from ethanol to yield yellow blocks of (I). [yield 80%, m.p. 475–476 K]. UV (CHCl3):Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2005); cell

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

2- and 4-(N-arylimino)quinolines have been investigated to their clinical efficacy for use as an analgetic drug (Hagen et al., 1983). A number of azomethines and their complexes possess high biological activity, including antineoplastic (Kuz'min et al., 2000; Gao et al., 2005) and antiviral (Lozytska et al., 2004). It has been recently shown that the macrocyclic Schiff bases can selectively bind different anions acting as artificial anionic receptors (Sessler et al., 2004).
In the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1), all bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Räisänen, Elo et al., 2007; Räisänen Leskelä, & Repo 2007; Allen et al., 1987). The molecule has a non-planar conformation. The dihedral angle between its two aromatic ring systems (C1–C6) and (N2/C8—C16) is 68.54 (5)°. The C6—N1—C7—C8 torsion angle is -179.98 (13)° and the N1—C6—C1—O1 angle deviates from zero only by -7.27 (18)°.
The molecular packing of the compound is stabilized by O—H···N and C—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1, Fig. 2).
