ABSTRACT
An efficient and green synthesis is developed for the preparation of the arylidene isatinhydrazone derivatives 4a-m using a heterogeneous mesoporous acid
catalyst of SBA-Pr-SO H with a pore size of 6 nm under solvent free conditions. The hydrazones 4a-m were then analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and the results
were used for the calcu3lation of the HOMO-LUMO band gap. In addition, the quantum chemical calculations were performed to provide an illustrative explanation
for the obtained band gap; it is found that probably these molecules have a high tendency to donate electrons to the appropriate small-molecule acceptors with low
energy and empty molecular orbital.
Keywords: Arylidene isatinhydrazone, SBA-Pr-SO3H, Green synthesis, HOMO-LUMO band gap, Small-molecule acceptors.
Synthesis of 3-Hydrazonoindolin-2-one (2)
INTRODUCTION
A mixture of isatin 1 (10 mmol, 1.47 g) and hydrazine monohydrate (80%,
5 ml) were heated under reflux condition. When the yellowish product was
observed and the reaction completed (monitored by TLC, 30 min), the mixture
was diluted with water and then, the product was dissolved in ethyl acetate
(3×20 ml). The organic phases were dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent
was evaporated in vacuo to obtain the pure product.
Hydrazone compounds are usually named after aldehydes and ketones
from which they are obtained. Hydrazones are one of the most important and
widespread classes of analytical reagents for the determination of different metal
ions using various analytical techniques.1 In addition, they have vast biological
properties for the treatment of tuberculosis, leprosy and mental disorders.2
For example, isonicotinoyl hydrazones are significant antitubercular agents.3
Some of hydrazones are also good insecticides, rodenticides, nematocides and
plant growth regulators.4 Isatinhydrazones as versatile Schiff bases can form
a variety of complexes5,6 and have different biological activities for instance
antimicrobial,7 antiglycation8 and antiproliferative9 activities.

General procedure for the synthesis of arylidene isatinhydrazones (4a-m)
The SBA-Pr-SO3H (0.02 g which contains 0.024 mmol of loaded -SO3H)
was activated in vacuum at 100 ºC and then, after cooling to room temperature,
isatinhydrazone 2 (0.161 g, 1 mmol) and aldehyde derivatives (1 mmol) were
added to it. The mixture was heated in an oil bath (120 °C) in appropriate time
as shown in Table 2. After completion of the reaction which was monitored by
TLC, the crude product was dissolved in hot EtOH and then filtered to remove
the solid catalyst. The filtrate was cooled to give the pure product. The solid
acid catalyst subsequently was washed with hot EtOH, diluted acid solution,
distilled water and acetone, and dried under vacuum. It can be used for several
times without loss of significant activity.
Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA-15) mesoporous silica was synthesized
for the first time in 1998 by Zhao and coworkers.10,11 SBA-15 is a hexagonal
mesoporous silica with good accessibility due to its high surface area, large
pore size, excellent stability (chemical and thermal), and easy isolation from the
products.12,13 The surface of SBA-15 can be modified with various functional
groups.14-18 In continuation of our previous studies,19-25 herein, we used the
propyl sulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 (SBA-Pr-SO H) as a heterogeneous
solid acid catalyst in the synthesis of isatinhydrazone der3ivatives. Additionally,
at the present work, the relation between the structure and spectral properties
are determined through UV-Vis spectroscopy as well as quantum chemical
calculations. Then, the HOMO-LUMO analysis of isatinhydrazone compounds
are investigated. Moreover, the calculated results are compared with the
experimental results.
