N′-(3-Methoxy­benzyl­idene)aceto­hydrazide

In the title mol­ecule, C(10)H(12)N(2)O(2), the acetohydrazide group is planar within 0.012 (1) Å and forms a dihedral angle of 5.25 (8)° with the benzene ring. The meth­oxy group is coplanar with the attached benzene ring [C—O—C—C = 0.1 (2)°]. The mol­ecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and these dimers are linked into a ribbon-like structure along [110] by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In addition, an inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­action is observed.
