Abstract
The molecule of the title compound, C11H13ClN2O2, is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.099 Å for non-H atoms) and adopts a Z conformation about the C=N double bond. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to the same O-atom acceptor, forming zigzag chains propagating along [010]. These interactions give rise to R 2 1(6) loops.

Comment
The present structure (I) is related to compounds already reported by our group, that is, (Z)-Ethyl 2-chloro-2-(2-(4-methoxyphenyl)hydrazono)acetate (II) (Asiri et al., 2012) and 1-Chloro-1-[(4-methylphenyl)hydrazinylidene]propan-2-one (III) (Asiri et al., 2011).
The title compound, Fig. 1, and II contain methyl and methoxy groups respectively at para positions of aromatic ring, which make them different from each other. The aromatic ring (C1—C6) is oriented at a dihedral angle of 9.49 (8)° with respect to the mean plane of the ester moiety (N1/N2/O1/O2 C7-Cl0; r.m.s. deviation 0.0454 Å), while the same angle in II is 3.05 (2) °. The spatial arrangements of different functional groups around the C7═N2 double bond give rise to trans isomer i.e.Z conformation.
In the crystal, N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules along the b axis to form zigzag chains, enclosing six membered R12(6) ring motifs - see Table. 1 and Fig. 2.
Experimental
The molecule was synthesised according to the literature procedure (Asiri et al., 2011) and recrystallized from ethanol under slow evaporation giving yellow needles.
Refinement
The N—H H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). The C-bound H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: C-H = 0.93, 0.96 and 0.97 Å for CH(aromatic), CHmethyl, and CHmethylene H atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = k × Ueq(parent C-atom), where k = 1.5 for CHmethyl H atoms and = 1.2 for other H atoms.

Special details
| Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
| Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
