3-Hydroxy-N -[(Z)-(5-methyl-2-furyl)methyl idene]naphthalene-2-carbohydrazide

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of title compound, C17H14N2O3, contains three independent molecules. In one of these molecules, the 5- methyl-2-furyl group is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.747 (3):0.253 (3). In the two ordered molecules, the furan and naphthalene rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 11.05 (12) and 32.2 (5) . In the disordered molecule, the furan rings with major and minor occupancies are oriented at dihedral angles of 41.4 (2) and 26.6 (13) , respectively, with the corresponding naphthalene ring. An intramolecular O—H O hydrogen bond occurs within each molecule. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H O, N—H (N,O) and C—H O interactions
