2-Methoxy-N′-(2-methoxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide

Abstract

The title Schiff base compound, C16H16N2O3, was derived from the condensation of 2-methoxybenzaldehyde with 2-methoxybenzohydrazide in an ethanol solution. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 87.5 (3)°. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked into chains running parallel to the a axis by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
