Synthesis and crystal structures of (E)-N′-(4-chloro-3-nitrobenzylidene)acetohydrazide and (E)-2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-1-(quinolin-8-yl)hydrazine

Abstract

The syntheses of two benzylidenehydrazine derivatives, namely, (E)-N′-(4-chloro-3-nitrobenzylidene)acetohydrazide, C9H8ClN3O3, and (E)-2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-1-(quinolin-8-yl)hydrazine, C16H12ClN3, are reported. The molecules have been characterized using IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectroscopic and elemental analysis techniques, and their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
