(<i>E</i>)-<i>N</i>′-(9-Anthrylmethylidene)-<i>p</i>-toluenesulfonohydrazide

The S-N(H)-N=C linkage in the title mol-ecule, C(22)H(18)N(2)O(2)S, is non-planar [torsion angle = 30.6 (1)°] as the amino N atom is pyramidally coordinated. In the crystal, the amino group acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to an O atom of an adjacent mol-ecule, generating chains running parallel to the b axis.
