Supporting information
The title compound was prepared by the coupling of diazonium salt of aniline with ethyl acetoacetate (Fernandes et al., 1975). It was recrystalized from methanol by slow evaporation at room temperature to yield colourless blocks of (I).
High values of isotropic thermal parameters for atoms O3 and C10 and unacceptable bond lengths for O3—C10 and C10—C11 of the ethoxy group indicated possible disorder. A difference elctron density map excluding the atoms O3, C10 and C11 showed that the ethoxy group to be disordered over two sites. The ratio of the occupancy factors of the two disorder components refined to 0.642 (15):0.358 (15). All H-atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C-H) = 0.93Å, Uiso=1.2Ueq (C) for aromatic 0.97Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (C) for CH2, 0.86Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (N) for NH, and 0.96Å, Uiso = 1.5Ueq (C) for CH3 atoms.

Special details top Geometry. All su's are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell su's are taken into account individually in the estimation of su's in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between su's in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. |
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 > 2σ(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. |

The unit cell of the title compound, (I), was reported by Wang et al. (2005, 2007). In the full structure reported here, the ethoxy group is disordered over two orientations with refined occupancies 0.642 (15):0.358 (15). The planes C9—O3A—C10A (plane A) and C9—O3B—C10B (plane B) of the two disordered ethoxy groups are inclined at an angle of 38.3 (17)°. The bonds C10A—C11A and C10B—C11B are bent in opposite directions with atom C11A and C11B deviating from planes A & B by 1.33 (1)Å and -1.41 (2)Å, respectively. The torsion angles C9—O3A—C10A—C11A and C9—O3B—C10B—C11B are 80.3 (6) and -89.0 (12)°, respectively. An intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond contributes to the planarity of the C1···C9, N1, N2, 1-phenyl-2-(propan-2-ylidene)hydrazine segment of the molecule. In the crystal structure C2—H2···O1 hydrogen bonds link pairs of molecules into centrosymmetric dimers generating R22(16) rings (Bernstein et al., 1995).
