(E)-Benzo-yl[1-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)imidazolidin-2-yl-idene]acetonitrile.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C(14)H(15)N(3)O(2), the C=C(H)-C=O grouping and the imidazolidine ring are coplanar as a result of an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond and extended electronic conjugation. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds help to establish the packing.
