In the title compound, C23H18N2O3, the interplanar angle between the benzoyl units is 80.51 (6)° while the dihedral angles between the hydrazinylidene and benzoyl groups are 43.43 (6) and 54.16 (6)°. In the crystal, a strong resonance-assisted intramolecular N-H...O hydrogen bond is observed. The molecules form an inversion dimer via a pair of weak C-H...O hydrogen bonds and a [pi]-[pi] interaction [centroid-centroid distance of 3.5719 (10) Å]. These dimers are linked via weak C-H...O contacts, forming chains along the b axis.
