N′-(2-Hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methoxybenzohydrazide monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, C15H14N2O3·H2O, the Schiff base molecule is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of 10.2 (3)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, the Schiff base and water molecules are linked together by intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the a axis.
