General synthetic method of bis(N-2,3-epoxypropyl-N-phenyl)hydrazones 2a-c
To the mixture of the diphenylhydrazone of the corresponding dialdehyde (1 mol) and
epichlorohydrin (22.5˚mol), powdered 85 % potassium hydroxide (4.5 mol) and anhydrous Na2SO4
(0.6 mol) were added in three portions with prior cooling of the reaction mixture to 20-25˚°C (1st
portion – 1/2 of Na2SO4 and 1/3 of KOH; 2nd portion – 1/4 of Na2SO4 and 1/3 of KOH after 1h from
the beginning of the reaction; 3rd – 1/4 of Na2SO4 and 1/3 of KOH after 2h from the beginning of the
reaction). The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously at 35-40˚°C until the starting dihydrazone
disappeared (7-8 h). After completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to RT and filtered off.
The organic part was washed with distilled water until the wash water was neutral. The organic layer
was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, treated with activated charcoal, filtered and the excess
of epiclorohydrin was removed. In the case of 2a,b the residues obtained were recrystallized from
