The title compound, C18H19N3O, displays an E conformation with respect to the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 24.49 (3)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by nonclassical intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form an infinite one-dimensional chain along [010], generating a C(8) motif.

The title compound was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 4-(diethylamino)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-aminobenzonitrile according to the literature (Shirinian et al., 2010). Yellow parallelepiped crystals suitable for the crystallographic studies reported here were isolated over a period of five weeks by slow evaporation from a chloroform solution.
H atoms bonded to O and C atoms were located in a difference
The hydroxy H atom was freely refined, and other H atoms positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C–H = 0.93Å-0.97Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2(1.5)Ueq(C)].Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2001); cell

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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. |

The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction of N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)aniline derivatives has been investigated, which incorporates transfer of a hydroxy proton to the imine nitrogen through an intramolecular six-membered-ring hydrogen-bonding system. The proton transfer dyes have found many important applications. Prototypical examples are probes for solvation dynamics (Chen & Pang, 2010; Lins et al., 2010) and biological environments (Lim et al., 2011; Maupin et al., 2011), photochromic materials (Ito et al., 2011), near-infrared fluorescent dyes (Ikeda et al., 2010), fluorescence microscopy imaging (Santos et al., 2011), chemosensors (Han et al., 2010; Helal et al., 2010) and recent application in the field of organic light emitting devices (Chuang et al., 2011; Tang et al., 2011).
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule displays a trans configuration about the central C═N imine double bond (Blagus & Kaitner, 2011; Guo, 2010; Manvizhi et al., 2011). The dihedral angle between the mean plane of two benzene rings is 24.49 (3)° (Wang et al., 2010) and an intramolecular O–H···N hydrogen bond (Table 1) generates an S(6) ring (Chen et al., 2011). In the crystal (Fig. 2), molecules are linked by non-classical intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) to form an infinite one-dimensional chain along [0 1 0], generating a C(8) motif.
