4-Dimethylamino-N′-(3-pyridylmethylidene)benzohydrazide

Abstract

The title compound, C15H16N4O, was prepared by the reaction of pyridine-3-carbaldehyde with 4-dimethylaminobenzohydrazide in methanol. The dihedral angle between the pyridine and the benzene rings is 5.1 (3)°. In the crystal structure, the hydrazone molecules are linked through intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b axis.
