(E)-N'-(5-Chloro-2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene)-3,5-dihydroxy-benzohydrazide mono-hydrate
Abstract:
In the title compound, C(14)H(11)ClN(2)O(4)·H(2)O, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 8.5 (2)° and an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed in the Schiff base mol-ecule. In the crystal structure, the water mol-ecule accepts an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond and makes O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to two further Schiff base mol-ecules. Further inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of layers parallel to the bc plane.

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...
