N′-(2,4-Dichlorobenzylidene)-3-methoxybenzohydrazide

Abstract

There are two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C15H12Cl2N2O2. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 27.6 (4)° in one mol­ecule and 16.4 (4)° in the other. Both mol­ecules adopt an E configuration about the C=N bonds. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked through inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains in the a-axis direction.
