Abstract
The title compound, C(22)H(18)N(2)O(3) is the second monoclinic polymorph (P2(1)/c) of the compound, the first being reported in space group P2(1) [Bertolasi et al. (1993 ▶). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 2223-2228]. In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, the inter-planar angle between the benzoyl units is 80.04 (5)°, while the corresponding angles between the phenyl-hydrazinyl-idene and benzoyl groups are 36.11 (5) and 55.77 (2)°. A strong resonance-assisted intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond is found. In the crystal, the entire supra-molecular structure is constructed by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions and an inter-ring π-π inter-action [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6088 (8) Å].
