The title compound, C14H12ClNO, a Schiff base derived from 3-methylsalicylaldehyde, crystallizes in the phenol–imine tautomeric form with an E conformation for the imine functionality. The molecule is not planar, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings being 36.38 (5)°. The hydroxy H atom is involved in a strong intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond, generating an S(6) ring.

A solution of 3-methylsalicylaldehyde (0.0681 g, 0.5 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) was added to a solution of 2-chlorobenzenamine (0.0638 g, 0.5 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h under reflux. Single crystals suitable for a X-ray analysis were obtained from ethanol by slow evaporation (0.0749 g, 61%).
The H atom bounded to O1 was located in the difference Fourier map and freely refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (O). All other H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding-model approximation with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms, and with C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.
Schiff bases are used as starting materials in the synthesis of important drugs (Layer, 1963; Ingold, 1969). A large number of
and their complexes have been studied for their interesting and important properties, e.g. (Henrici-Olive & Olive, 1984), photochromic properties (Cohen et al., 1964), biological activity (Barton et al., 1979). On the other hand, Schiff base ligands play a vital role in coordination chemistry due to their metal binding ability (Garnovskii et al., 1993).The structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The C7═N1 double bond of 1.283 (3) Å is slightly longer than the literature values found in similar structures (Köysal et al., 2007; Kılıç et al., 2009; Şahin et al., 2009) in the range of 1.262 (8)-1.279 (3) Å. The title molecule is not planar with a dihedral angle between the aromatic rings C1/C6 and C8/C13 of 36.38 (5) °. The imino group is coplanar with the hydroxyphenyl ring with the torsion angle C13—C8—C7—N1 of 1.6 (4) °.
The molecular structure is stabilized by a strong intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond.

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 used as starting materials in the synthesis of important drugs (Layer, 1963; Ingold, 1969). A large number of Schiff bases and their complexes have been studied for their interesting and important properties, e.g. catalytic activity (Henrici-Olive & Olive, 1984), photochromic properties (Cohen et al., 1964), biological activity (Barton et al., 1979). On the other hand, Schiff base ligands play a vital role in coordination chemistry due to their metal binding ability (Garnovskii et al., 1993).
The structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The C7═N1 double bond of 1.283 (3) Å is slightly longer than the literature values found in similar structures (Köysal et al., 2007; Kılıç et al., 2009; Şahin et al., 2009) in the range of 1.262 (8)-1.279 (3) Å. The title molecule is not planar with a dihedral angle between the aromatic rings C1/C6 and C8/C13 of 36.38 (5) °. The imino group is coplanar with the hydroxyphenyl ring with the torsion angle C13—C8—C7—N1 of 1.6 (4) °.
The molecular structure is stabilized by a strong intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bond.
