3-Chloro-N′-[(2-meth­oxy­naphthalen-1-yl)methyl­idene]benzohydrazide

The title compound, C(19)H(15)ClN(2)O(2), was prepared by the reaction of 2-meth­oxy-1-naphthaldehyde with 3-chloro­benzohydrazide in methanol. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the naphthyl ring system is 69.0 (3)°. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along the c axis. The crystal packing exhibits π–π inter­actions, as indicated by distances of 3.768 (3) Å between the centroids of the naphthyl rings of neighbouring mol­ecules.
