Synthesis and characterization of (E)-2-(1-(2-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl) hydrazono) ethyl)-4, 5-dimethylphenol 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 (2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine in alkaline medium at controlled conditions which yields as corresponding hydrazone [(E)-2-(1-(2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazono)ethyl)-4,5-dimethylphenol]. The structure of synthesized (E)-2-(1-(2-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl) hydrazono) ethyl)-4, 5-dimethylphenol was elucidated by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques like Infrared spectroscopy, Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, High-performance liquid chromatography, Proton nuclear magnetic resonance and Mass spectrum.
