✦ Synopsis
The title chiral photochromic Schiff base compound, C 15 H 14 BrNO, was synthesized from (R)-1-phenylethylamine and 5-bromosalicylaldehyde. The molecule is the phenolimine tautomer, the C N and N-C bond distances being 1.261 ( 7) and 1.482 (7) A ˚, respectively. There is an intramolecular O-HÁ Á ÁN hydrogen bond with an OÁ Á ÁN distance of 2.593 (7) A ˚.
