The molecule of the title compound, C21H17N3O, is built up from fused five- and six-membered rings connected to a methyl group, a phenyl ring and an (iminomethyl)phenol group. The fused ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å) and forms dihedral angles of 64.97 (7) and 18.52 (6)° with the phenyl ring and the (iminomethyl)phenol group, respectively. In the crystal, centrosymmetric molecules are linked by pairs of C—H⋯π interactions into dimeric units, which are further connected by O–H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form layers parallel to (101).
In the title compound, C9H10N2O, the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine moiety is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.024 Å). The methanol group is nearly perpendicular to its mean plane as indicated by the C—C—C—O and N—C—C—O torsion angles of 80.04 (16) and −96.30 (17)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R

2(10) ring motif. The dimers are liked via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, enclosing R

2(10) ring motifs and forming ribbons along [201]. The ribbons are linked via a number of π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances vary from 3.4819 (8) to 3.7212 (8) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure.
In the title compound, C15H11N3O4, the imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine ring system is almost planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.028 (2) Å]. Its mean plane makes dihedral angles of 33.92 (7) and 34.56 (6)° with the methoxyphenyl ring and the nitro group, respectively. The cohesion of the crystal structure is ensured by C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers almost parallel to the ac plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
