4-Hydroxy-N'-(4-methoxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide

D.-H. Shi

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₅H₁₄N₂O₃, was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde with 4-hydroxybenzohydrazide in methanol. The molecule adopts an E configuration about the C=N bond. The two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 46.6 (2)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001) through O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds.
