N'-(4-Hydroxy-benzyl-idene)-4-meth-oxybenzohydrazide.

The title compound, C(15)H(14)N(2)O(3), was prepared by the reaction of 4-hydroxy-benzaldehyde and 4-methoxy-benzohydrazide in methanol. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 6.8†(1)°. The meth-oxy group is disordered over two orientations with occupancies of ca 0.63 and 0.37. In the major disorder component, the meth-oxy group is coplanar with the attached ring. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
