The reaction of 2-methoxybenzaldehyde (0.136 g, 1 mmol) with 4-dimethylaminobenzohydrazide (0.179 g, 1 mmol) in 30 ml methanol at room temperature afforded the title compound. Colourless single crystals were formed by gradual evaporation of the solution in air.
The amino H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined with the N–H distance restrained to be 0.90 (1) Å. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.93-0.96 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(Cmethyl).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

In 2010, much attention has been focused on the biological properties of hydrazone compounds (Ajani et al., 2010; Zhang et al., 2010; Angelusiu et al., 2010). The crystal structures of a number of hydrazone compounds have also been determined (Huang & Wu, 2010; Khaledi et al., 2010; Zhou & Yang, 2010; Ji & Lu, 2010; Singh & Singh, 2010; Ahmad et al., 2010). Herein, we report on the synthesis and crystal structure of a new hydrazone compound, prepared by the reaction of 2-methoxybenzaldehyde with 4-dimethylaminobenzohydrazide.
In the molecule of the title compound, Fig. 1, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 14.05 (15) °. All the bond values are comparable with those in the similar compound, N'-(4-Diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-(dimethylamino)benzohydrazide methanol monosolvate, we reported recently (Su et al., 2011).
In the crystal structure, the hydrazone molecules are linked through intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1), to form 1D chains along b (Fig. 2).
