JOURNAL OF SCIENCE OF HNUE Natural Sci., 2008, Vol. 53, N ◦ . 5, pp. 66-72 SPECTRAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME HYDRAZONES DERIVED FROM ISOEUGENOXYACETIC ACID Hoang Thi Tuyet Lan, Le Thi Luyen and Nguyen Huu Dinh Hanoi National University of Education Abstract. Eight hydrazones were synthesized from isoeugenoxyacetic acid via a three-step procedure (esterification, conversion to hydrazide, condensa- tion with aromatic aldehydes and p-methylacetophenone). The IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra of the hydrazones were analyzed. 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR signals were assigned on the basis of spin-spin splitting patterns and cross peaks on HSQC, HMBC spectra. The NMR data show that examined hydrazones exist in two conformers at hydrazide sing bond CO-N, in which the propenyl group has E-configuration 1. Introduction There are many hydrazides, hydrazones, which possess high biological ac- tivities. Among them, isoniazide (pyridine-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide) and fti- vazide (N-(pyridine-4-carbonyl)-N'-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzyliden)hydrazine) are used as antitubercular drug [1]. Eugenol is the main component of Ocimum Sane- tum L. essential oil, which is used in Vietnamese traditional medicine. Recently the anticarcinogenic effect of eugenol was detected by a simplified short-term technique based on the inhibition of microsomal degranulation of rat liver microsomes, in vitro [2]. Eugenoxyacetic and isoeugenoxyacetic acids are used as food additives [3]. Herein some hydrazones derived from isoeugenoxyacetic acid are described. 2. Results and discussion The reported compounds were prepared from isoeugenoxyacetic acid as follows: 66 Spectral characterization of some hydrazones derived from isoeugenoxyacetic acid In a previous paper [4] we proved that on refluxing methyl eugenoxyacetate and hydrazine for 10 hours, the allyl group was reduced to the corresponding saturated group, propyl. To avoid this reaction, hydrazine was slowly added to a solution of methyl isoeugenoxyacetate and the reaction time was reduced to 6 hours. The EI MS of isoeugenoxyacetylhydrazine, some hydrazones and the 1 H NMR of 1÷8 (see below) showed that in these compounds, the CH=CH group has not been reduced. Results of synthesis of hydrazones 1÷8 are given in Table 1. Table 1. Results of synthesis of hydrazones 1÷8 (*) Compd =CR-Ar Solvent for recrystn Form and colour Yield (%) M.p.

The stretching frequencies of hydrazone C=N, aromatic C=N, aromatic C=C may not be distinguished since they have no significant differences (Table 2). It is noted that, weak absorption band of ethylenic C=C is overlaid by stronger hydrazide C=O band, thus the band is not observed. Table 2.

The assignment of the 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR signals in many cases based on both their chemical shifts and their 2D spectra. For example, the HSQC spectrum of 7 (Figure 1) allows an unambiguous assignment of the correspondence 68 Spectral characterization of some hydrazones derived from isoeugenoxyacetic acid of the 1 H and 13 C signals, in HMBC spectrum reproduced in Figure 2, the signals of C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C8, C9, C12, C13, C14, and C15 were identified.

As in Table 3, the H8-H9 coupling is 16 Hz. This shows that the propenyl group of 1-8 has E-configuration. It is known that some series of hydrazide-hydrazones can exist in two con- formers at hydrazide sing bond CO-N [5,6], we suggest that two sets of 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR signals of examined compounds are corresponding to two conformers A and B in Figure 3. The relative intensity of 1 H NMR signals indicates that the mole ratio of two conformers A and B for 1÷8 is 2:1. 71 Hoang Thi Tuyet Lan, Le Thi Luyen and Nguyen Huu Dinh Figure 3. Two conformers of examined compounds 3. Experimental • Isoeugenoxyacetic acid, methyl isoeugenoxyacetate, isoeugenoxyacetylhydrazine were prepared according to the method reported in reference [7]. • General procedure for preparation of hydrazones 1÷8: A mixture of isoeugenoxyacetylhydrazine (0.59 g, 2.5 mmole), an aromatic aldehyde (2.5 mmole) and piperidine (2 - 3 drops) in a minimum amount of ethanol was refluxed for 8 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled. The precipitate was filtered, washed with cool ethanol and recrystalized with suitable solvent . The results are given in Table 1. • The IR spectra were recorded in KBr discs at 400 - 4000 cm−1 on a FTS 60000 Bio-Rad. The EI MS were recorded by HP 5989 B mass-spectrometer. The NMR spectra were obtained at room temperature with a Bruker Avance 500 MHz spectrometer in d6-DMSO with TMS as the internal standard. REFERENCES [1] R.B. Silvermen, 1992.
