In the title hydrate, C19H16N2O4·H2O, the 4H-chromen-4-one segment is slightly twisted, with a dihedral angle between the two six-membered rings of 3.30 (5)°. The dihedral angles between the plane of the pyran-one ring and the hydrazide plane and between the planes of the pyran-one ring and the benzene ring of the p-meth-oxy-benzene unit are 26.69 (4) and 2.23 (3)°, respectively. The mol-ecule ...
