Crystal structure of 2-hy­dr­oxy-2-phenyl­aceto­phenone oxime

The title compound [systematic name: 2-(N-hy­droxy­imino)-1,2-di­phenyl­ethanol], C14H13NO2, consists of hy­droxy phenyl­aceto­phenone and oxime units, in which the phenyl rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 80.54 (7)°. In the crystal, inter­molecular O—HOxm⋯NOxm, O—HHydr⋯OHydr, O—H′Hydr⋯OHydr and O—HOxm⋯OHydr hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains along the c-axis direction. π–π contacts between inversion-related of the phenyl ring adjacent to the oxime group have a centroid–centroid separation of 3.904 (3) Å and a weak C—H⋯π(ring) inter­action is also observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (58.4%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (26.4%) contacts. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals contacts are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing.
