The title compound, C(14)H(12)Br(2)N(2)O(2), was prepared from the condensation of 4,5-dibromo-1,2-phenyl-enediamine and 2-hydr-oxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde in methanol. The N=C double bond shows a trans conformation and the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes is 5.9 (4)°. In the crystal structure, there are intra-molecular O-H⋯N and N-H⋯N and inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, the latter resulting in inversion dimers.
