详细

The molecular structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₁ClN₂O₄, was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic sp. gr. P2₁/c with Z = 4. The title compound, C₁₄H₁₁ClN₂O₄, is a Schiff base which adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form in the solid state.The molecule is almost planar and the dihedral angle between the planes of two aromatic ring is 2.2(1)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular O–H···N hydrogen bond which generates a six-membered ring. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked together by intermolecular C–H···O interactions.
