2-Ethoxy-4-[2-(3-nitrophenyl)hydrazonomethyl]phenol

Abstract

The title Schiff base compound, C15H15N3O4, was prepared from a condensation reaction of 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 3-nitrophenylhydrazine. The molecule is nearly planar; the dihedral angle between the hydroxybenzene ring and the nitrobenzene ring is 6.57 (7)°. O—H...O, O—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonding helps to stabilize the crystal structure.
