(E)-2-(2,3-Dimethylanilino)-N′-(thiophen-2-ylmethylidene)benzohydrazide

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H19N3OS, the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 45.36 (9) and 55.33 (9)° with the thiophene ring and the dimethyl-substituted benzene ring, respectively. The dihedral angle between the thiophene ring and dimethyl-substituted benzene ring is 83.60 (9)°. The thiophene ring and the benzene ring are twisted from the mean plane of the C(=O)—N—N=C bridge [maximum deviation = 0.0860 (13) Å], with dihedral angles of 23.86 (9) and 24.77 (8)°, respectively. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond generates anS(6) ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds to the same acceptor atom, forming sheets lying parallel to thebcplane. The crystal packing also features C—H...π interactions.
