title: 2-[(Pyridin-3-yl-amino)-meth-yl]phenol.
abstract: In the title compound, C(12)H(12)N(2)O, the aromatic rings at either ends of the -CH(2)-NH- link are twisted by 68.79 (7)°. In the crystal, the hy-droxy substituent is a hydrogen-bond donor to the N atom of the pyridine ring of an adjacent mol-ecule, and the hydrogen bond generates a chain along the b axis; it is also a hydrogen-bond acceptor to the amino group of another adjacent mol-ecule. The two hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a layer structure.
