title: (E)-3-(2-Hydr-oxy-3-methoxy-benzyl-idene-amino)benzonitrile.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(15)H(12)N(2)O(2), displays a trans configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 30.46 (14)°. A strong intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond stabilizes the mol-ecular structure.
