3,4-Dihydr-oxy-N'-(2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene)benzohydrazide-methanol-water (2/1/3)
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(12)N(2)O(4)·0.5CH(4)O·1.5H(2)O, consists of two Schiff base mol-ecules, three water mol-ecules and one methanol mol-ecule. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 7.8 (2)° in one of the mol-ecules and 4.0 (2)° in the other. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are observed. Mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonds.

The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
