Abstract:
The title compound, C(15)H(13)BrN(2)O(2)·CH(3)OH, was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methoxy-benzaldehyde with an equimolar quantity of 3-bromo-benzohydrazide in methanol. The benzohydrazide mol-ecule displays an E configuration about the C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 4.0 (2)°. The benzohydrazide and methanol mol-ecules are linked into a chain propagating along the b axis by O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Consider the bromination of cyclopentene. Molecular bromine is polarized in the proximity of the π electrons of cyclopentene. An electrophilic bromine atom adds across the double bond, forming a cyclic bromonium ion intermediate.
