N′-(4-Fluorobenzylidene)acetohydrazide

Abstract

The title compound, C9H9FN2O, was prepared by the reaction of 4-fluorobenzophenone and acethydrazide. In the molecule, all non-H atoms are essentially coplanar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.065 (2) Å]. In the crystal, molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
