(E)-4-Amino-N'-(5-chloro-2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)benzohydrazide

Abstract

The title compound, C(14)H(12)ClN(3)O(2), displays an E conformation with respect to the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 41.3 (5)°. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, N-H⋯O and weak N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional architecture. In addition, there are weak C-H⋯π stacking inter-actions.
