To a solution of 2-(4-methylphenoxy)acethydrazide (0.01 mol) in a mixture of DMF and ethanol (10 ml), 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (0.01 mol) was added. Concentrated sulfuric acid (0.5 ml) was added to this reaction mixture. The contents were refluxed for about 1 h. The solid product separated was collected by filtration. It was dried and recrystallized from ethanol. Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol-N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (3:1) solution.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å and N–H = 0.86 Å, and refined as riding on their parent C and N atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq(C,N) for the others.
Hydrazone derivatives possessing an azomethine –NHN=CH– moiety constitute an important class of compounds for new drug development (Nithinchandra et al., 2012). A large number of hydrazone derivatives have been reported to have bactericidal (Holla et al., 1992), fungicidal (Kalluraya et al., 1995) and anticancer (Nithinchandra et al., 2013) activities. As part of our studies in this area, herewith we report the structure of the title compound.
The ORTEP of the title compound is shown (Fig. 1) and the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 68.85 (11)°. The overall geometry of the title compound are similar to related structures N-{(E)-[4-Dimethylamino)phenyl]-methylidene}-2,3-dimethylaniline (Sarfraz et al., 2010) and 2-(4-Methylphenoxy)acetohydrazide (Fun et al., 2011). In the
the molecules are connected with intermolecular hydrogen bonds C8—H8B···O2 and N1—H1···O2. They form infinite chains along b-axis (Fig. 2 and Table. 1). In addition, short contacts C8—H(8 A)···Cg(2) with distance 3.442 (2) Å (angle 139°) [x, y - 1/2, z + 1/2] and C16—H16···Cg1 with distance 3.394 (2) Å (angle 131°) [x - 1, y + 1/2, z - 1/2] are observed where Cg(1): C2—C7 and Cg(2): C11—C16.For biological background to hydrazone derivatives, see: Nithinchandra et al.

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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. |

Hydrazone derivatives possessing an azomethine –NHN=CH– moiety constitute an important class of compounds for new drug development (Nithinchandra et al., 2012). A large number of hydrazone derivatives have been reported to have bactericidal (Holla et al., 1992), fungicidal (Kalluraya et al., 1995) and anticancer (Nithinchandra et al., 2013) activities. As part of our studies in this area, herewith we report the structure of the title compound.
The ORTEP of the title compound is shown (Fig. 1) and the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 68.85 (11)°. The overall geometry of the title compound are similar to related structures N-{(E)-[4-Dimethylamino)phenyl]-methylidene}-2,3-dimethylaniline (Sarfraz et al., 2010) and 2-(4-Methylphenoxy)acetohydrazide (Fun et al., 2011). In the crystal structure, the molecules are connected with intermolecular hydrogen bonds C8—H8B···O2 and N1—H1···O2. They form infinite chains along b-axis (Fig. 2 and Table. 1). In addition, short contacts C8—H(8 A)···Cg(2) with distance 3.442 (2) Å (angle 139°) [x, y - 1/2, z + 1/2] and C16—H16···Cg1 with distance 3.394 (2) Å (angle 131°) [x - 1, y + 1/2, z - 1/2] are observed where Cg(1): C2—C7 and Cg(2): C11—C16.
