Abstract:
In the title compound, C(14)H(10)ClN(3)O(4)·CH(3)OH, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 33.9 (2)°. In the crystal structure, the methanol solvent mol-ecules are linked to the Schiff base mol-ecules through inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Mol-ecules are further linked through inter-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis.

Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions
In 1896, the German chemist Paul Walden discovered that he could interconvert pure enantiomeric (+) and (-) malic acids through a series of reactions. This conversion suggested the involvement of optical inversion during the substitution reaction. Further, in 1930, Sir Christopher Ingold described for the first time two different forms of nucleophilic substitution reactions, which are known as SN1 (nucleophilic substitution unimolecular) and SN2 (nucleophilic substitution...
