(E)-N′-(5-Bromo-2-methoxybenzylidene)-4-methoxybenzohydrazide

Abstract

In the title compound, C16H15BrN2O3, the benzohydrazide group is not planar and the molecule exists in a trans configuration with respect to the methylidene unit. The dihedral angle between the two substituted benzene rings is 75.6 (2)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds involving carbonyl and amine functionalities, to form chains parallel to the c cell axis.
