Abstract
Crystals of the title compound, C15H15N3O3, were obtained from a condensation reaction of 4-nitrophenylhydrazine and 3-methoxyacetophenone. In the crystal structure, the methoxyphenyl ring is twisted slightly with respect to the nitrophenylhydrazine plane, making a dihedral angle of 14.81 (8)°. The nitro and methoxy groups are each coplanar with the attached benzene rings. The nitrophenyl and methoxyphenyl groups are located on opposite sides of the C=N double bond, indicating an E configuration of the molecule. Adjacent molecules are linked together via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming chains along the [101] direction.
