In the title compound, C21H23N5O2, the conformation about the imine bond [1.287 (3) Å] is E. Overall, the molecule has a disk shape, the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the methoxyphenyl and methylphenyl rings being 49.42 (13) and 42.62 (13)°, respectively; the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 20.11 (11)°. In the urea moiety, the N—H atoms are anti to each other and one of these forms an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, centrosymmetric dimers are formed via N—H⋯N(imidazole) hydrogen bonds, which are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H⋯O(carbonyl) and (methylene)C—H⋯π interactions. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a minor component of 48.3 (1)%.

Acetic acid (2 drops) was added to a stirred solution of 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)propan-1-one (0.23 g, 1 mmol) and N-(2-methylphenyl)hydrazinecarboxamide (0.17 g, 1 mmol) in absolute ethanol (10 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration. The collected solid was recrystallized from ethanol to give crystals of the title compound; Mp: 363–365 K.

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. |

Epilepsy is one of the most widespread pathologies of the human brain, affecting approximately 1% of world population (Sander & Shorvon, 1987). Current anti-epileptic drugs suffer from a number of disadvantages including the fact that approximately one quarter of epileptic patients have seizures that are resistant to the available medical therapy (Saxena & Saxena, 1995). Additionally, many clinically used anti-epileptic drugs cause significant side-effects which may limit their usefulness (Edafiogho & Scott, 1996). Accordingly, the evolution of novel anti-convulsants is a continuing challenge. An evaluation of the literature revealed that aryl semicarbazones were found to exhibit significant anti-convulsant activities (Aboul-Enein et al., 2012; Dimmock et al., 1995; Dimmock et al., 1993). The novel title compound, namely (2E)-2-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-(4-methoxphenyl)propylidene]-N-(2-methylphenyl)hydrazinecarboxamide (I) will be evaluated as anti-convulsant in experimental animal models. Herein, we describe the results of its crystal structure determination.
In (I), Fig. 1, the conformation about the N3═C9 bond [1.287 (3) Å] is E. The dihedral angles between the imidazolyl ring and the methoxy- and methyl-benzene rings are 49.42 (13) and 42.62 (13)°, respectively; the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 20.11 (11)°. Despite these angles of inclination, overall the molecule as a disk which contrasts the flat topology in the non-methoxy species (Attia et al., 2012). The methoxy group is co-planar with the benzene ring to which it is attached as seen in the value of the C16—O2—C13—C12 torsion angle of -173.1 (2)°. Within the urea moiety, the N—H atoms are anti to each other and the N1—H forms an intramolecular N—H···N hydrogen bond to define a S(5) loop, Table 1.
In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric dimers are formed via N—H···N(imidazolyl) hydrogen bonds and 18-membered {···HNNC3NCN}2 synthons, Fig. 2 and Table 1. These aggregates are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H···O(carbonyl) and (methylene)C—H···π interactions, Fig. 3 and Table 1.
