The title compound, C17H19NO2, exists as an enol–imine tautomer. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 4.6 (2)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds which generate S(5) and S(6) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In addition, C—H⋯π interactions involving both benzene rings are observed.

Compound (I) was prepared by refluxing a mixture of 2,3-dihydroxy benzaldehyde (0.5 g, 0.0036 mol) in ethanol (20 ml) and 4-butilanilyne (0.54 g 0.0036 mol) in ethanol (20 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h under reflux. The crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from a methanol solution by slow evaporation (yield 85%; m.p. 363–364 K).
The hydroxyl H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and were refined with a O-H distance restraint of 0.83 (2) Å. All other H-atoms were refined using a riding model with C-H = 0.93–0.96 Å (Uiso = 1.2Ueq of the parent atom) for aromatic and ethyl C atoms and C-H = 0.97 Å (Uiso = 1.5Ueq of the parent atom) for methyl C atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) 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. |

Schiff bases are widely used as ligands in the field of coordination chemistry and they play an important role in various field of chemistry due to their biological activities (Lozier et al., 1975). o-Hydroxy Schiff bases derived from the reaction of o-hydroxy aldehydes with aniline have been examined extensively (Steward & Lingafelter, 1959; Calligaris et al., 1972; Maslen & Waters, 1975). Some Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde have attracted the interest of chemists and physicists because they show thermochromism and photochromism in the solid state by H-atom transfer from the hydroxy O atom to the N atom (Hadjoudis, et al., 1987). It has been proposed that molecules showing thermochromism are planar while those showing photochromism are non-planar (Moustakali-Mavridis et al., 1980). There are two types of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in Schiff bases arising from the keto-amine (N—H···O) and enol-imine (N···H—O) tautomeric forms.
X-ray analysis shows that compound (I) prefers the enol-imine tautomeric form with a strong intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond. A H atom is located on atom O1, thus the enol-imine tautomer is favoured over the keto-amine form, as indicated by the C2—O1 [1.333 (2) Å], C7—N1 [1.297 (2) Å], C1—C7 [1.433 (2) Å] and C1—C2 [1.406 (2) Å] bond lengths (Fig. 1). The C2—O1 bond length of 1.333 (2) Å indicates a single-bond character, whereas the C7—N1 bond length of 1.297 (2) Å indicates a high degree of double-bond character. Similar results were observed for (E)-3-[(2-fluorophenylimino)methyl]benzene-1,2-diol [C—O = 1.354 (19) Å, C—N = 1.285 (2) Å; Temel et al., 2007].
The molecule of (I) is nearly planar, with a dihedral angle between the benzene rings A(C1-C6) and B(C8-C13) of 4.6 (2) Å. Intramolecular O—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonds generate S(5) and S(6) ring motifs, respectively (Bernstein et al., 1995) (Fig. 1). The nearly planar S(6) ring forms dihedral angles of 2.3 (4)° and 2.5 (5)° with the rings A and B, respectively.
In the crystal, molecules of (I) are linked by intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds forming centrosymmetric dimers (Fig.2). In addition, C6—H6···Cg2 and C10—H10···Cg1 interactions (Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the C1—C6 and C8—C13 rings, respectively) are observed (Table 1).
