(E)-N′-(2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzylidene)-4-methoxybenzohydrazide

In the title compound, C15H12ClN3O4, the benzohydrazide group is not planar and the molecule exists in a trans configuration with respect to the methylidene unit. The dihedral angle between the two substituted benzene rings is 0.4 (3)°. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the c axis
