The title compound, C14H13NO2, adopts the enol–imine tautomeric form, with an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond which generates an S(6) ring motif. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 7.85 (7)°. The is stabilized by O—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional array that stacks along the a axis. In addition, a C—H⋯π interaction contributes to the stabilization of the crystal packing.

The title compound was synthesized as a secondary product from a three component reaction of cyclohexane-1,3-dione (1 mmol), (4-aminophenyl)methanol (1 mmol), and salicylaldehde (1 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed in ethanol at 351 K for four hours then left at room temperature for two days. The resulting solid product was filtered of, dried and recrystallized from ethanol. (43% yield, M.pt: 403 K). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown in a diluted ethanol solution at room temperature by the slow evaporation method.
The H atoms of the hydroxyl groups were located from a difference Fourier map and refined freely [O1—H1 = 0.94 (3) Å and O2—H2 = 0.93 (2) Å]. The hydrogen atoms at C were located geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.95 Å for aromatic and 0.99 Å for methylene, and with Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C). Sixteen poorly fitted reflections (-3 2 10), (-11 0 10), (1 0 0), (-5 1 13), (-7 0 14), (-9 0 14), (-13 1 12), (-12 0 12), (-3 1 14), (-14 1 12), (-8 0 14), (-16 1 12), (-10 5 2), (-4 0 14), (17 1 6), and (12 0 10) were omitted from the refinement.

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. |

Schiff base compounds are important class of materials due to their flexibility, structural similarities with natural biological substances and also due to presence of imine (–N=CH–) which relates to the mechanism of transformation and racemisation reactions in biological system (Rajavel et al., 2008). Schiff bases-bimolecular condensation products of amnio alcohols with aldehydes represent valuable intermediates in organic synthesis with various applications (Uğraş et al., 2006). Schiff bases resulted from aromatic aldehydes ortho-substituted with a hydroxyl group initially aroused interest due to the several donor atoms in their structures which give them an advantage to form a water soluble transition metal complexes (Wadher et al., 2009). This advantage raises potential applications in water treatment (Elena et al., 2000). They could also act as valuable ligands whose biological activity has been shown to increase on complexation (Mohamed et al., 2006).
As seen in Fig. 1, the title compound shows the enol-imine tautomeric form, which has an intramolecular O— H···N hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). The C14—O2 single bond [1.3525 (17) Å] and the C8═N1 double bond [1.2829 (17) Å] verify the enol-imine form. These distances and the values of the other geometric parameters are in the normal range and are comparable with those of other similar compounds reported previously (Koşar, et al., 2010; Deveci et al., 2008; Ünver et al., 2002; Karadayı et al., 2003). The N1—C8—C9—C14 torsion angle is 1.8 (2)°. Therefore, the N1/C8/C9/C14/O2/H2 S(6) ring is essentially coplanar with the C9–C14 benzene ring to which it is bonded.
In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H···O and weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming a two dimensional array that stacks along the a axis Fig. 2 and Table 1. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C—H···π interactions, Table 1.
