Abstract

The title compound, (RS)-3,5-dichloro-2-[[(1-phenylethyl)imino]methyl]phenol, C(15)H(13)Cl(2)NO, was synthesized from racemic 1-phenylethylamine and 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde. The pi-conjugate system around the imine group is essentially planar in the phenol-imine tautomer. Intramolecular O...N hydrogen-bond and intermolecular C-H...pi interactions are present in the crystal structure.
