Crystal structure of (E)-N′-benzylidene-2-methoxybenzohydrazide

Abstract

In the title benzoylhydrazide derivative, C15H14N2O2, the dihedral angle between the planes of the two phenyl rings is 12.56 (9)°. The azomethine double bond adopts an E configuration stabilized by an N—H...O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the components are linked by C—H...O interactions to form chains along the b axis.
