(Z)-2-[(2-Hydr-oxy-1-naphth-yl)methyl-eneamino]benzonitrile.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(18)H(12)N(2)O, crystallizes in a phenol-imine tautomeric form with a Z conformation for the imine functionality. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 8.98 (9)°. A strong intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen-bond inter-action between the hydroxyl group and imine N atom occurs.
