Preparation and Absorption Spectra of Arylhydrazones from α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00278a036

Substituted arylhydrazones 2-17, 19, and 23-29 were prepared from several α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and their absorption spectra examined.The dependence on concentration of certain near-infrared bands of the spectra has been associated with aggregation and appears to correlate with structural elements of the compounds in a way suggesting significant intermolecular effects, either hydrogen bonding or charge transfer of both.
