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

In the title compound, C23H22N2O2S2, the dihedral angles between the 4-methoxy-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 intermolecular C—H⋯O packing interactions 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 molecules into chains running along the a axis. Additional weak intermolecular hydrogen-bond interactions between the 4-methoxy O atom and one of the phenyl rings and provide added stability to the crystal packing.
