N′-[(1E)-2,5-Di-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide

摘要

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C 15 H 15 N 3 O 3 , is twisted, with the dihedral angle between the pyridyl and benzene rings being 58.34?(6)°. In the crystal, amide-N—H?O(amide) and imine-C—H?O(amide) hydrogen bonds lead to zigzag (glide symmetry) chains extending along the c axis which are joined into layers parallel to the [100] direction by offset π – π stacking inter-actions between inversion-related benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.7468?(7)??] and by C—H? π (pyrid-yl) inter-actions. Pyridyl rings protrude from the surfaces of the layers and partially inter-calate with those of adjacent layers.
