The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H19ClN4O2, contains two molecules, in which the dihedral angles between the benzene rings are 43.60 (12) and 58.65 (13)°. The hydrazine N atoms are twisted slightly out of the planes of the tolyl and methoxybenzene rings: the C—C—N—N and N—N—C—C torsion angles are 171.1 (2) and −174.4 (2)°, respectively, for one molecule and −177.4 (2) and −170.6 (2)°, respectively, for the other. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains propagating along the b-axis direction.
