The title compound, C11H14N2O2, was prepared by the reaction of acetohydrazide and 1-(4-methoxy­phen­yl)ethanone. In the mol­ecule, all bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges. In the crystal structure, adjacent mol­ecules are linked into a centrosymmetric dimer by inter­molecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding.

Comment top

Schiff bases have received considerable attention in the literature. They are attractive from several points of view, such as the possibility of analytical application (Cimerman et al., 1997). As part of our search for new Schiff base compounds we synthesized the title compound (I), and describe its structure here.

In the title compound (Fig. 1), all bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). The C8—N1 bond length of 1.278 (3)Å is comparable with C—N double bond [1.281 (2) Å] reported (Girgis, 2006).

In the crystal structure, adjacent molecules are linked into a centro-symmetric supra-molecular dimer by intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonding (Table 1, Fig. 2).

Experimental top

A mixture of the acetohydrazide (0.1 mol), and 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (0.1 mol) was stirred in refluxing ethanol (20 mL) for 4 h to afford the title compound (0.080 mol, yield 80%). Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by recrystallization from ethanol at room temperature.

Refinement top

H atoms were fixed geometrically and allowed to ride on their attached atoms, with C—H = 0.93-0.96 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å, and with Uiso=1.2–1.5Ueq.

Special details top

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.
