The molecular structure of the title compound, C16H16N2O2, is stabilized by intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds with S(6) graph-set motifs, so that the molecule is almost planar, with a C=N—N=C torsion angle of −179.7 (2)° and a dihedral angle of 1.82 (12)° between the aromatic rings. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯π interactions lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.

The title compound was synthesized by mixing a solution (1:2 molar ratio) of hydrazine hydrate (0.20 ml, 4 mmol) and 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde (1.08 g, 8 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml). The resulting solution was refluxed for 4 h, yielding (65%) the pale yellow crystalline solid. The resultant solid was filtered off and washed with methanol. Pale Yellow single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray
were recrystalized from dimethylformamide by slow evaporation at room temperature over several days.H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and O—H = 0.82 Å and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O, methyl C).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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 base ligands exhibit anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-tumour and anti-HIV activities (Pandeya et al., 1999; Singh & Dash, 1988; Kelley et al., 1995; Tarafder et al., 2002). In the molecular structure of the title compound (Fig. 1), the bond distances are within the normal range (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable with the related structures (Chantrapromma et al., 2010; Fun et al., 2010). In the molecule, two aromatic rings are almost co-planar, with a dihedral angle of 1.82 (12)°. The hydroxy groups form intramolecular O—H···N hydrogen bonds (O1—H1···N1 and O2—H2A···N2; Table 1) with S(6) graph-set motifs (Bernstein et al., 1995). The crystal structure also exhibits weak intermolecular C—H···π (Table 1) interactions which forms a three dimensional network.
