Synthesis and characterization of (E)-4, 5-dimethyl-2-(1-(2-phenylhydrazono) ethyl) phenol from 2-hydroxy-4, 5-dimethyl acetophenone

Abstract

This study reports the event of substituted hydrazone prepared from 1-(2-hydroxy-4, 5-dimethylphenyl) ethanone and phenyl hydrazine in alkaline medium at controlled conditions which yields as corresponding hydrazone [(E)-4, 5-dimethyl-2-(1-(2-phenylhydrazono) ethyl) phenol]. The structure of synthesized [(E)-4, 5-dimethyl-2-(1-(2-phenylhydrazono) ethyl) phenol was elucidated by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques like Infrared spectroscopy, Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, High-performance liquid chromatography, Proton nuclear resonance and spectrum.
