In the title compound, C18H16N2O2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes through the two benzene rings is 56.8 (6)°. The enoate group assumes an extended conformation. The hydroxyethanimine group is essentially coplanar with the benzene ring, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.047 (1) Å for the hydroxyimino O atom. In the crystal, the molecules are linked into cyclic centrosymmetric dimers with R22(6) motifs via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

To a stirred solution of (E)-2-((2-formylphenoxy)methyl)-3-o- tolylacrylonitrile (4 mmol) in 10 ml of EtOH/H2O mixture (1:1) was added NH2OH.HCl (6 mmol) in the presence of 50% NaOH at room temperature. Then the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 1.5 h. After completion of the reaction, solvent was removed and the crude mass was diluted with water (15 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 15 ml). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (2 x 10 ml) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and then evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain (2E)-2-((2-((Hydroxyimino)methyl) phenoxy)methyl)-3-o-tolylacrylonitrile as a colourless solid.
All H atoms were fixed geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent C atoms, with C—H distances fixed in the range 0.93–0.97 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H 1.2Ueq(C) for other H 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. |

Recently, 2-cyanoacrylates have been extensively used as agrochemicals because of their unique mechanism of action and good environmental profiles (Zhang et al., 2009). Oximes are a classical type of chelating ligands which are widely used in coordination and analytical chemistry (Chaudhuri, 2003). Against this background, and in order to obtain detailed information on molecular conformations in the solid state, an X-ray study of the title compound was carried out.
X-Ray analysis confirms the molecular structure and atom connectivity as illustrated in Fig. 1. The bond lengths and angles in (Fig. 1) agree with those observed in other tolylacrylonitile derivatives (Govindan et al., 2011). The whole molecule is not planar as the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 56.8 (6)°, The oxime group having the C=N forming an E configuration. The hydroxyethanimine group is essentially coplanar with the benzene ring, the largest deviation from the mean plane of the hydroxyethanimine [C=N—OH] group is 0.047 (1) Å. for the O1 atom.
The enoate group assumes an extended conformation as can be seen from torsion angles C2—C1—N1—O1 [177.9 (2)°] and C1—C2—C3—C4 [-177.1 (2) °]. The atom C15 in the molecule (x,y,z) donate one proton to atom O1 of the molecule at (-1 - x,-y,1 - z) forming a C(6) chain along b axis. The hydroxyethanimine group in the molecules are linked into cyclic centrosymmetric dimers via O—H···N hydrogen bonds with the motif R22(6) (Fig. 2). In addition to van der Waals interaction, the crystal packing is stabilized by C—H···O interactions.
