Crystal structure of 2-{(E)-[(2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)iminium-yl]meth-yl}-4-methyl-phenolate.

The title compound, C14H13NO2, exists as a zwitterion in the solid state, with the H atom of the phenol group transferred to the imine N atom. The dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings is 10.13†(9)°. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond generate S(6) and S(5) loops. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating C(9) chains propagating in the [010] direction.
