N′-[(E)-4-Bromobenzylidene]pyrazine-2-carbohydrazide

Abstract

In the title compound, C12H9BrN4O, the N′-methylidenepyrazine-2-carbohydrazide and 4-bromobenzene groups are oriented at a dihedral angle of 10.57 (7)°. The hydrazide N—H group is involved in intramolecular N—H...N interaction, which generates an S(5) motif. A short C—H...O interaction is formed between the methylidene H atom and the carbonyl O atom. It connects molecules into chains extending along [100]. In addition, molecules are arranged into stacks extending along [010] via π–π interactions between pyrazine and benzene rings, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.837 (2) and 3.860 (2) Å.
