N′-[(E)-4-Benzyloxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene]benzohydrazide

Abstract

The title compound, C 21 H 18 N 2 O 3 , exists in the E conformation with respect to the azomethane C=N double bond. The central benzene ring is almost coplanar with one of the substituent benzene rings [dihedral angle = 1.74 (5)°] and is approximately orthogonal to the other benzene ring of the mol­ecule [dihedral angle = 86.61 (7)°]. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal packing is dominated by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which lead to an infinite chain running parallel to [010].
