The complete molecule of the title compound, C18H20N2O4, is generated by inversion symmetry. The conformation around the C=N bond is E. With the exception of the ethoxy substituent, the molecule is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0455 Å. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional supramolecular network parallel to the bc plane.

A mixture of 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3 g, 18 mmol), hydrazine sulfate (1.17 g, 9 mmol) and 1.7 ml of concentrated ammonia solution in 20 ml of 95% ethanol was stirred for 3 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the yellow residue was recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran to yield yellow crystals, m.p. 471 - 472 K.
Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions (C–H 0.95 to 0.99 Å and O–H 0.84 Å) and were treated as riding on their parent carbon atoms, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5 times Ueq(C).

react easily with hydrazine forming which could condense with a second molecule of the carbonyl compound to yield an azine. Due to the fascinating physical and chemical properties, and their derivatives have been extensively applied in such area as dyes [Kim et al.], non-linear fluorophores [Facchetti et al.], biological and pharmaceutical applications [Wadher et al., Pandeya et al.]. Furthermore, there are many reports on polyazines as highly conjugated polymers in electronic, optoelectronic and photonic applications [Dudis et al]. In our work on a new class of monomers based upon the hydrazone moieties, we report here a new bis imine monomer. The title compound, C18H20N2O4, is centrosymmetric around the central azine bond [N1—N1i = 1.416 (2) Å; i: -x + 2, -y + 1, -z + 1], with the E configuration around the N1=C1 bond [1.284 (1) Å]. In the of the title compound in Fig 2, the molecules are linked together by O–H···N hydrogen bonds [O2—H2···N1ii = 2.7782 (12) Å; ii: 3/2 - x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 + z] resulting in the formation of a two-dimensional supramolecular network which propagated parallel to the bc plane. C—H···pi interaction is also present; C8—H8b···Cg1iii = 2.71 Å where Cg1 is the centroid of the ring C2 - C7, [symmetry code: (iii) -1 + x, y, z].In contrast to the title compound, the methoxy substituted analogue [Qu, et al.] consists of two asymmetric units with the presence of additional intermolecular O—H..O hydrogen bonds with the adjacent asymmetric unit.For the structure of 4,4'-(1E,1'E)-1,2-diylidenebis(methan-1-yl-1-ylidene) bis(2-methoxyphenol), see: Qu et al.

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. |

Aromatic carbonyl compounds react easily with hydrazine forming hydrazones, which could condense with a second molecule of the carbonyl compound to yield an azine. Due to the fascinating physical and chemical properties, azines and their derivatives have been extensively applied in such area as dyes [Kim et al.], non-linear fluorophores [Facchetti et al.], biological and pharmaceutical applications [Wadher et al., Pandeya et al.]. Furthermore, there are many reports on polyazines as highly conjugated polymers in electronic, optoelectronic and photonic applications [Dudis et al]. In our work on a new class of monomers based upon the hydrazone moieties, we report here a new bis imine monomer. The title compound, C18H20N2O4, is centrosymmetric around the central azine bond [N1—N1i = 1.416 (2) Å; symmetry operation i: -x + 2, -y + 1, -z + 1], with the E configuration around the N1=C1 bond [1.284 (1) Å]. In the crystal structure of the title compound in Fig 2, the molecules are linked together by O–H···N hydrogen bonds [O2—H2···N1ii = 2.7782 (12) Å; symmetry operation ii: 3/2 - x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 + z] resulting in the formation of a two-dimensional supramolecular network which propagated parallel to the bc plane. C—H···pi interaction is also present; C8—H8b···Cg1iii = 2.71 Å where Cg1 is the centroid of the ring C2 - C7, [symmetry code: (iii) -1 + x, y, z].In contrast to the title compound, the methoxy substituted analogue [Qu, et al.] consists of two asymmetric units with the presence of additional intermolecular O—H..O hydrogen bonds with the adjacent asymmetric unit.
