(E)-2,4-Dimethyl-N′-(2-methylbenzylidene)benzohydrazide

Abstract

In the title benzoylhydrazide derivative, C17H18N2O, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 88.45 (8)° and the azomethine double bond adopts an E conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a chain along the b axis.
