The title compound, C9H12N2O2, is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.13 Å for all non-H atoms). The carbonyl O atom is involved as acceptor in three different hydrogen-bond interactions. One N—H⋯O and the C—H⋯O(carbonyl) contact together with a weak C—H⋯O(ethoxy) interaction link the molecules into sheets parallel to (102). These are further linked into a three-dimensional network via the remaining C—H⋯O(carbonyl) hydrogen bond and a C(methylene)—H⋯π interaction

3.6 g of methyl p-ethoxybenzoate was added to 40 ml freshly distilled methanol in a round-bottomed flask. The content was stirred until completely dissolved and the flask was fitted with a reflux condenser bearing a calcium chloride guard tube. Then 2.0 g of 80% hydrazine hydrate was added slowly. The reaction was monitored by thin layer
Upon completion of the reaction, the content was concentrated in vacuo (Furniss et al., 1989). The resulting crude solid was filtered, washed with water and agitated with freshly distilled acetone for 1 h. The product was then recrystallized from aqueous ethanol.The NH hydrogen atoms were refined freely. Methyl H atoms were identified in difference syntheses, idealized and refined corresponding to a rigid group with C—H 0.98 Å and H—C—H angles 109.5°, allowed to rotate but not tip. Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined using a riding model with C—Harom= 0.95 and C—Hmethylene =0.99 Å; the hydrogen U values were fixed at 1.5 (methyl) or 1.2 × U(eq) of the parent atom.
Hydrazides represent one of the most biologically active classes of compounds reported in the chemical literature; they display a wide variety of biological activities such as antimicrobial (Kumar et al., 2009) anticancer (Gohil et al., 2010) and antigenotoxic (Bordoloi et al., 2009). They have been employed as synthetic precursors for a number of hetero-cyclic compounds such as oxadiazoles, triazoles and thiadiazoles (Zia et al., 2012; Syed et al., 2011; Akhtar et al., 2010; Akhtar, Hameed, Al-Masoudi et al., 2008; Akhtar, Hameed, Khan et al., 2008; Khan, Akhtar et al. , 2010; Khan, Hameed et al. , 2010; Serwar et al., 2009; Zahid et al., 2009). The title compound (1) was synthesized as an intermediate for its subsequent conversion to 1,2,4-triazoles and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles in order to explore their potential as antibacterial or antifungal agents or urease inhibitors.
The structure of (1) is shown in Fig. 1. Molecular dimensions may be regarded as normal, e.g. the N—N bond length of 1.4117 (9) Å; a search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, CONQUEST Version 1.14; Allen, 2002) for the benzohydrazine fragment gave 37 hits (41 molecules) with an average N—N bond length of 1.415 (5) Å. The molecule is approximately planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.13 Å for all non-H atoms. The angle between the phenyl and CON2 planes is 14.65 (6)°. The hydrogen atoms of the NH2 group lie to either side of the CON2 plane, with torsion angles C7—N2—N1—H01 61.8 (9)° and C7—N2—N1—H02 - 53.1 (8)°.
The carbonyl oxygen is involved as acceptor in three different hydrogen bond interactions. Two of them form a bifurcated N2—H03···O1(i) , C6—H6···O1(i) system, these interactions together with a very weak C3—H3···O2(ii) (ethoxy) hydrogen bond link the molecules into sheets parallel to (102). These layers are further linked into a three-dimensional network via the remaining N1—H01···O1(iii) (carbonyl) hydrogen bond and a C8—H8B···Cg(iv) π interaction, where Cg is the centroid of the C1-C6 benzene ring [symmetry codes: (i) -x, y+1/2,-z+3/2;(ii) -x+1,-y+1,-z+1; (iii)-x, -y+1,-z+2 and (iv) x, -y+3/2, z-1/2]. The hydrogen H02 is not involved in hydrogen bonding interactions.
Compound (1) is not isotypic to its methoxy analogue (Ashiq et al., 2009), which crystallizes in P212121.

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. |

Hydrazides represent one of the most biologically active classes of compounds reported in the chemical literature; they display a wide variety of biological activities such as antimicrobial (Kumar et al., 2009) anticancer (Gohil et al., 2010) and antigenotoxic (Bordoloi et al., 2009). They have been employed as synthetic precursors for a number of hetero-cyclic compounds such as oxadiazoles, triazoles and thiadiazoles (Zia et al., 2012; Syed et al., 2011; Akhtar et al., 2010; Akhtar, Hameed, Al-Masoudi et al., 2008; Akhtar, Hameed, Khan et al., 2008; Khan, Akhtar et al. , 2010; Khan, Hameed et al. , 2010; Serwar et al., 2009; Zahid et al., 2009). The title compound (1) was synthesized as an intermediate for its subsequent conversion to 1,2,4-triazoles and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles in order to explore their potential as antibacterial or antifungal agents or urease inhibitors.
The structure of (1) is shown in Fig. 1. Molecular dimensions may be regarded as normal, e.g. the N—N bond length of 1.4117 (9) Å; a search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, CONQUEST Version 1.14; Allen, 2002) for the benzohydrazine fragment gave 37 hits (41 molecules) with an average N—N bond length of 1.415 (5) Å. The molecule is approximately planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.13 Å for all non-H atoms. The angle between the phenyl and CON2 planes is 14.65 (6)°. The hydrogen atoms of the NH2 group lie to either side of the CON2 plane, with torsion angles C7—N2—N1—H01 61.8 (9)° and C7—N2—N1—H02 - 53.1 (8)°.
The carbonyl oxygen is involved as acceptor in three different hydrogen bond interactions. Two of them form a bifurcated N2—H03···O1(i) , C6—H6···O1(i) system, these interactions together with a very weak C3—H3···O2(ii) (ethoxy) hydrogen bond link the molecules into sheets parallel to (102). These layers are further linked into a three-dimensional network via the remaining N1—H01···O1(iii) (carbonyl) hydrogen bond and a C8—H8B···Cg(iv) π interaction, where Cg is the centroid of the C1-C6 benzene ring [symmetry codes: (i) -x, y+1/2,-z+3/2;(ii) -x+1,-y+1,-z+1; (iii)-x, -y+1,-z+2 and (iv) x, -y+3/2, z-1/2]. The hydrogen H02 is not involved in hydrogen bonding interactions.
Compound (1) is not isotypic to its methoxy analogue (Ashiq et al., 2009), which crystallizes in P212121.
