Abstract
A series of mono- and di-Schiff-bases based on Benzil Dihydrazone (BDH) were designed and synthesized to be set as the model compounds to explain which one should be the advanced product and which parameters will determine the end-product. As the first step of a series of investigations, this article presents the syntheses and characterization of five new Schiff-bases plus one preliminary reported Schiff-base, all derived from BDH. The compounds were characterized by single crystal (or conventional powder) X-ray diffractometry, elemental analysis, m.p., 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and UV–Vis.Structural features of the five new Schiff-bases are similar. For instance, all molecules are nonsymmetrical/symmetrical double helix with the torsion angle of two “half-parts” about 72–97°. The Ph-CN–NC-Ph moiety all exists in planar and anti form, indicating significant conjugation. The crystal structures appear to be stabilized by π-stacking between the aromatic rings, as well as by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and C–H … π stacking interactions.DFT calculations have been performed to explain the trend of the experimentally measured reaction yields. In the case of the studied systems by us, the type of Schiff-bases exhibits a clear dependence on the molar ratio of reactants if the products have similar stabilities. Otherwise the importance of reaction conditions will be weakened and the most stable product will be favored.
