(E)-N'-(4-Eth-oxy-benzyl-idene)-4-hy-droxy-benzohydrazide dihydrate
Abstract:
The benzohydrazide mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O(3)·2H(2)O, exists in a trans conformation with respect to the C=N double bond. The central O=C-NH-N=C plane [r.m.s. deviation of 0.0165 (1) Å for the five non-H atoms] makes dihedral angles of 6.04 (8) and 2.38 (8)°, respectively, with the hy-droxy- and eth-oxy-substituted benzene rings. The dihedral angle between these benzene rings is 3.82 (7)°. The eth-oxy group is almost coplanar with the attached benzene ring with a C-O-C-C torsion angle of -176.58 (11)°. In the crystal, the benzohydrazide and water mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O , O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.
Classification of Ethers
Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...
Dehydration of Aldols to Enals: Base-Catalyzed Aldol Condensation
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...
