(E)-N'-(4-Pyridylmethyl-ene)-2-(quinolin-8-yl-oxy)acetohydrazide sesquihydrate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(17)H(14)N(4)O(2)·1.5H(2)O, the mean planes of the pyridine ring and quinoline group make a dihedral angle of 21.0 (2)°. One water molecule lies on a twofold rotation axis. The organic mol-ecules and the three water mol-ecules are linked into infinite chains by N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.
