N'-(2-Meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)aceto-hydrazide.

In the title mol-ecule, C(10)H(12)N(2)O(2), the acetohydrazide group is almost planar [within 0.0306 (12) Å] and forms a dihedral angle of 12.15 (14)° with the benzene ring. The meth-oxy group deviates from the attached benzene ring with a C-O-C-C torsion angle of 4.2 (4)°·The mol-ecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular C-H⋯O interactions further stabilize the structure.
