Crystal structure of N'-[4-(di-methyl-amino)-benzyl-idene]furan-2-carbohydrazide monohydrate.

The condensation of 2-furoic hydrazide and 4-dimethyl amino-benzaldehyde in ethanol yielded a yellow solid formulated as the title compound, C(14)H(15)N(3)O(2)·H(2)O. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular O(water)-H⋯O,N(carbohydrazide) and N-H⋯O(water) hydrogen bonds, which form a two-dimensional network along the bc plane. Additional C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene and the furan ring is 34.47†(6)°. The carbohydrazide moiety, i.e., the C=N-N-C=O fragment and the benzene ring are almost coplanar, with an angle of 6.75†(9)° between their mean planes.
