title: [2-(2,3-Dimethyl-anilino)phen-yl]methanol.
abstract: In the title compound, C(15)H(17)NO, the 2,3-dimethyl-phenyl group is disordered over two sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.869 (3):0.131 (3). The major and minor components of the 2,3-dimethyl-anilino group are planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0214 and 0.0303 Å, respectively, and are oriented at a dihedral angle of 2.6 (6)°. The phenyl-methanol-benzene ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 83.16 (6) and 81.0 (3)° with respect to the major and minor components of the 2,3-dimethyl-anilino group, respectively. An S(6) ring motif is present due to intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected into supra-molecular chains via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding along the b axis. C-H⋯π inter-actions help to stabilize the crystal structure.
