Abstract
The title compound, C9H13N3O, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and all non-hydrogen atoms are within 0.1 Å of the mol-ecular mean plane. In the crystal, the hydrogen-bonding pattern results in [001] chains built up from fused R 2 2(6) and R 2 2(10) rings; the former consists of N-H⋯N bonds and the latter N-H⋯O bonds. Electrostatic and dispersion forces are major contributors to the lattice energy, which was estimated by DFT calculations to be -215.7 kJ mol-1.

In our search for inhibitors of bacterial virulence factors (Mossine et al, 2016, 2020), we turned our attention to the title compound, which can be viewed as a structural analogue of isoniazid (Andrade et al, 2008) and a potential precursor for pharmacologically active, iron-binding hydrazidehydrazones
Summary
There has been an interest in aroyl hydrazides because of their numerous applications, for instance, as synthetic precursors to a large number of potential antimicrobial (Popiołek, 2017) or anticancer (Kumar & Narasimhan, 2013) drugs, in addition to their own anti-tubercular activities (Sah & Peoples, 1954). In our search for inhibitors of bacterial virulence factors (Mossine et al, 2016, 2020), we turned our attention to the title compound, which can be viewed as a structural analogue of isoniazid (Andrade et al, 2008) and a potential precursor for pharmacologically active, iron-binding hydrazidehydrazones. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with eight molecules per unit cell. The spatial arrangement of the hydrazido group, as defined by the torsion angle H2—N2—N3—H3B = 119.3 (15), corresponds to the lowest energy conformation that has been calculated for acyl hydrazides (Centore et al, 2010)
