title: N'-[(E)-1-Phenyl-ethyl-idene]benzo-hydrazide.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(14)N(2)O, crystallized with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Both mol-ecules are non-planar and have an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rings are 11.1 (2)° in one mol-ecule and 12.40 (19)° in the other. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions into infinite one-dimensional chains along [1 0 0]. The crystal structure is further stabilized by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, weak C-H⋯O and very weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
