title: (E)-2-({2-[(E)-(Hy-droxy-imino)-meth-yl]phen-oxy}meth-yl)-3-o-tolyl-acrylonitrile.
abstract: In the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(2)O(2), the dihedral angle between the mean planes through the two benzene rings is 56.8 (6)°. The enoate group assumes an extended conformation. The hy-droxy-ethanimine group is essentially coplanar with the benzene ring, the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.047 (1) Å for the hy-droxy-imino O atom. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into cyclic centrosymmetric dimers with R(2) (2)(6) motifs via O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
