The title compound was synthesized by using (0.328 g) 2 mmol of 2,4-dimethylbenzohydrazide and (0.240 g) 2 mmol 2-methylbenzaldehyde as starting material under same conditions and solvents as described in our previous publications (Taha et al., 2012a,b; Naz et al., 2012). The compound was recrystallized by dissolving in methanol to obtain colorless needles (0.474 g, 89% yield). All chemicals were purchased by sigma Aldrich Germany.
H atoms on methyl and phenyl groups were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.96 and 0.93 Å, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl) or 1.2Ueq(Cphenyl). A rotating group model was applied to the methyl groups. The H atoms on the nitrogen was located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically [N—H = 0.832 (15) Å]. The Hooft y parameter was -0.3 (5).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Benzohydrazides represents an important class of organic compounds with a wide range of biological applications (Musharraf et al., 2012; Khan et al., 2012). The title compound was obtained in continuation of our work to synthesize and study the biological activities of benzohydrazide derivatives. Previously, we have published crystal structures of many benzohydrazides derivatives with different substitution pattern on two phenyl rings (Taha et al., 2012a,b; Naz et al., 2012). In the title compound two methyl substituted phenyl rings (C1–C6 and C9–C14) are each planner with dihedral angle of 88.45 (8)° between them. The bond lengths and angles were found to be similar as in structurally related benzohydrazide derivatives (Taha et al., 2012a,b; Naz et al., 2012). The crystal structure stabilize by intermolecular N1—H1A···O1i and C8—H8A···O1i interactions to form a chain along the b axis (symmetry code as in Table 1).
