2-[(E)-2-Hy-droxy-5-(trifluoro-meth-oxy)benzyl-idene-amino]-4-methyl-phenol
Abstract:
The title compound, C(15)H(12)F(3)NO(3), is a Schiff base which adopts the cis-quinoid form in the solid state. The dihedral angle between the least-squares planes of the benzene rings being 3.6 (1)°. The F atoms of the -CF(3) group are disordered over two sets of sites with refined occupancies of 0.61 (5) and 0.39 (5). An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.
