The title compound, C10H12N2O3, crystallizes with two independent molecules in the The side chains in the two independent molecules have slightly different orientations, with the C=N—N—C torsion angle being 169.19 (14)° in one of the molecules and −179.86 (14)° in the other. Each independent molecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond. In the molecules are linked into chains running along [001] by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In addition, an intermolecular C—H⋯π interaction is observed.

2-Methoxybenzaldehyde (1.36 g, 0.01 mol) and methyl hydrazinecarboxylate (0.90 g, 0.01 mol) were dissolved in stirred methanol (25 ml) and left for 2.5 h at room temperature. The resulting solid was filtered off and recrystallized from ethanol to give the title compound in 95% yield. Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol solution at room temperature (m.p. 428–430 K).
H atoms were positioned geometrically (N-H = 0.86 Å and C-H = 0.93 or 0.96 Å) and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) and 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl). In the absence of significant
effects, Friedel pairs were averaged.Data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2002); cell

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. |

Benzaldehydehydrazone derivatives have attracted much attention due to their pharmacological activity (Parashar et al., 1988) and their photochromic properties (Hadjoudis et al., 1987). They are important intermediates of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, which have been reported to be versatile compounds with many interesting properties (Borg et al., 1999). Metal complexes based on Schiff bases have received considerable attention because they can be utilized as model compounds of active centres in various proteins and enzymes (Kahwa et al., 1986; Santos et al., 2001). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound (Fig. 1).
The title compound contains two independent, but almost identical molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each independent molecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C═N bond. The N1/N2/O2/O3/C8/C9 and N3/N4/O5/O6/C18/C19 planes form dihedral angles of 3.20 (6)° and 11.61 (5)°, respectively, with the C2—C7 and C12—C17 planes. The dihedral angle between the two independent benzene rings is 49.19 (7)°. The bond lengths and angles are comparable to those observed for methylN'-[(E)-4-methoxybenzylidene]hydrazinecarboxylate (Shang et al., 2007).
In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked into chains running along the [001] by N—H···O, N—H···N and C—H···O hydrogen bonds. In addition, an intermolecular C—H···π interaction is observed (Table 1).
