(E)-3-{[(2-Bromo-3-methyl-phen-yl)imino]-meth-yl}benzene-1,2-diol: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis.

The title compound, C14H12BrNO2, was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 2,3-di-hydroxy-benzaldehyde and 2-bromo-3-methyl-aniline. It crystallizes in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P . The configuration about the C=N bond is E. The dihedral angle between the planes of the 5-(2-bromo-3-methyl-phenyl ring and the catechol ring is 2.80 (17)°. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions consolidate the crystal packing.
