2-Phenyl-N'-(2-phenyl-acet-yl)acetohydrazide.
In the title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O(2), the N'-acetyl-acetohydrazide group is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å for the eight non-H atoms) and makes dihedral angles of 81.92 (6) and 65.19 (6)° with the terminal phenyl rings. The phenyl rings form a dihedral angle of 62.60 (7)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into sheets lying parallel to (001) by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. One O atom accepts one N-H⋯O and one C-H⋯O hydrogen bond and the other O atom accepts one N-H⋯O and two C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to R(2) (2)(8) loops and the C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R(2) (1)(6) loops.
