The Schiff base 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde semicarbazone

J.-L. Wang, Y.-J. Jia and M. Yu

Abstract: The synthesis of the title compound, C₉H₉N₃O₃, was achieved by the condensation of 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde with semicarbazide hydrochloride. The molecule is approximately planar: the dihedral angles of the 3,4-methylenedioxybenzene and amide moieties with the hydrazone moiety are 10.2  (2) and 8.9  (3)°, respectively. Intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds generate a two-dimensional network. Aromatic stacking interactions are also found in the crystal structure.
