(E)-Ethyl N′-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene]hydrazinecarboxylate

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C12H16N2O3, adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the hydrazinecarboxylate plane is 13.82 (6)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and the dimers are linked together by C—H...π interactions.
