N′-[Bis(benzylsulfanyl)methylidene]-4-methoxybenzohydrazide

In the title compound, C(23)H(22)N(2)O(2)S(2), the dihedral angles between the 4-meth-oxy-substituted phenyl ring and the other two phenyl rings are 84.4 (4) and 77.7 (1)°, respectively, while the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 57.5 (2)°. The amino group is not involved in an N-H hydrogen bond. The crystal packing is established by inter-molecular C-H⋯O packing inter-actions involving a relatively rare weak three-center hydrogen bond between the keto O atom and H atoms of the two nearby phenyl rings, which link the mol-ecules into chains running along the a axis. Additional weak inter-molecular hydrogen-bond inter-actions between the 4-meth-oxy O atom and one of the phenyl rings and provide added stability to the crystal packing.
