title: 4-Meth-oxy-N'-(2-methoxy-naphthyl-idene)benzohydrazide.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title Schiff base compound, C(20)H(18)N(2)O(3), prepared by the reaction of 2-meth-oxy-1-naphthyl-aldehyde and 4-methoxy-benzohydrazide, exists in a trans configuration with respect to the imine group. The naphthyl ring system makes a dihedral angle of 71.4 (2)° with the mean plane of the benzene ring. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into one-dimensional chains parallel to the c axis by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
