Abstract:
The mol-ecule of the title compound, C15H15NO2, adopts a trans conformation with respect to the methyl-idene C=N bond and is twisted with a dihedral angle of 26.31 (5)° between the two substituted benzene rings. The eth-oxy group is almost coplanar with the bound benzene ring with a C-O-C-C torsion angle of -179.08 (9)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions into chains propagating in the [011] and [01-1] directions. C-H⋯π inter-actions are also present.

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.
