Comment top

Hydrazides are useful precursors in the synthesis of several related heterocyclic systems (Narayana et al., 2005). The crystal structures of some similar hydrazides, viz., 2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)acetohydrazide (Liu & Gao, 2012), 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)acetohydrazide (Hanif et al., 2007) and 2-(4-methylphenoxy)acetohydrazide (Fun et al., 2011) have been reported. In view of the importance of hydrazides, the crystal structure of title compound (I) is reported.

In the title compound, C9H12N2O, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene ring (C3–C8) and acetohydrazide group (O1/C1/N2/N1) is 88.2 (7)° (Fig. 1). Bond lengths are in normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). In the crystal N—H···O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H···O intermolecular interactions link the molecules into infinite ribbons along [001] (Fig. 2, Table 1).

Experimental top

To a solution of methyl (4-methylphenyl)acetate (2 g, 12.18 mmol) in methanol (20 mL), hydrazine hydrate (2 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours (Fig. 3). After the completion of the reaction methanol was removed under vacuum, added water, precipitated solid was filtered and dried. The single crystal was grown from mixture methanol: water (2:1) by slow evaporation method and yield of the compound was 91%. (m.p.: 426-428 K).

Refinement top

H1A, H1B and H2 were restrained with DFIX = 0.86 (2)Å. All the H atoms were placed in their calculated positions and then refined using the riding model with Atom—H lengths of 0.93Å (CH), 0.97Å (CH2), 0.96Å (CH3) or 0.86Å (NH). Isotropic displacement parameters for these atoms were set to 1.19-1.21 (CH, CH2), 1.49 (CH3) or 1.20 (NH) times Ueq of the parent atom.

Special details top

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 > 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.
