In the title compound, C20H21N5O, the conformation about the imine bond [1.289 (3) Å] is E. Overall, the molecule is disk-shaped with the imidazole ring located above the remainder of the molecule and with the dihedral angles of 10.97 (15) and 12.11 (15)°, respectively, between the imidazole ring and the phenyl and methylbenzene rings; the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 8.17 (14)°. Within the urea unit, the N—H atoms are anti to each other and one of the N—H atoms forms an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond. Helical supramolecular chains along [001] are formed via N—H⋯N(imidazole) hydrogen bonds in the These are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H⋯O(carbonyl) and C—H⋯π interactions.

Acetic acid (2 drops) was added to a stirred solution of 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-phenyl-propan-1-one (0.20 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 solution was concentrated under vacuum and the precipitated solid was filtered off. The collected solid was recrystallized from ethanol to give crystals of the title compound; M.P.: 453–455 K.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H = 0.95 to 0.99 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C)] and were included in the
in the riding model approximation. The amino H-atoms were refined with N—H = 0.88±0.01 Å. In the absence of significant effects, 1613 Friedel pairs were averaged in the final refinement.Data collection: CrysAlis PRO (Agilent, 2011); 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. |

The title compound, (2E)-2-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-phenylpropylidene]-N-(2-methylphenyl)hydrazinecarboxamide (I) will be evaluated as anti-convulsant in experimental animal models for which structural information is desirable. The motivation for its study is the observation that aryl semicarbazones can exhibit significant anti-convulsant activities (Aboul-Enein et al., 2012; Dimmock et al., 1995; Dimmock et al., 1993). Epilepsy is one of the most widespread pathologies of human brain, affecting approximately 1% of world population (Sander & Shorvon, 1987). The need for new drugs arises as currently used 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 therapies (Saxena & Saxena, 1995). Aside from that, many anti-epileptics used clinically cause significant side-effects (Edafiogho & Scott, 1996).
In (I), Fig. 1, the conformation about the N3═C9 bond [1.289 (3) Å] is E. The dihedral angles between the imidazolyl ring and the phenyl and methylbenzene rings are 10.97 (15) and 12.11 (15)°, respectively; the dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 8.17 (14)°. Overall, the main part of the molecule, excepting the imidazolyl substituent, appears flat and is significantly flatter than the recently determined 4-methoxybenzene analogue (Attia et al., 2012). Within the urea moiety, the N—H atoms are anti to each other and the N1—H atom forms an intramolecular N—H···N hydrogen bond which defines a S(5) loop, Table 1.
In the crystal structure, helical supramolecular chains along [001] are formed via N—H···N(imidazolyl) hydrogen bonds, Fig. 2 and Table 1. These are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H···O(carbonyl) and C—H···π interactions, Fig. 3 and Table 1.
