2-Cyano-N'-[1-(2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)ethyl-idene]acetohydrazide monohydrate
Abstract:
The title compound, C(11)H(11)N(3)O(2)·H(2)O, was obtained by the reaction of 2-acetyl-phenol with cyano-acetohydrazide in methanol. The asymmetric unit contains two hydrazone mol-ecules and two water mol-ecules of crystallization. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond in each hydrazone mol-ecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

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.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
