In the title benzohydrazide derivative, C14H12N2O4, the azomethine C=N double bond has an E configuration. The hydrazide connecting bridge, (C=O)—(NH)—N=(CH), is nearly planar with C—C—N—N and C—N—N=C torsion angles of −177.33 (10) and −174.98 (12)°, respectively. The 4-hydroxyphenyl and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl rings are slightly twisted, making a dihedral angle of 9.18 (6)°. In the crystal, molecules are connected by N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network, while further consolidated via π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6480 (8) and 3.7607 (8) Å]. The conformation is compared to those of related benzylidene-4-hydroxybenzohydrazide derivatives.
The molecules of C15H14N2O3 are slightly twisted. N—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds play an important role in the crystal packing, resulting in the formation of molecular sheets parallel to the bc plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
