Isatin acylhydrazones with sterically hindered phenolic fragments: Synthesis and structures
Isatin acylhydrazones with sterically hindered phenolic fragments were obtained. Their structures were determined using 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The products synthesized by condensation of isatin and 1-(3,5-di- tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-l H-indole-2,3-dione with 3-(3,5-di- tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propiono-hydrazide exist as E- and Z-isomers about the C=N bond. E- Z isomerization takes place in boiling ethanol. The E-isomer of the condensation product from isatin and 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionohydrazide was structurally characterized using X-ray diffraction: this isomer is a cis-conformer about the amide group and has a E-configuration about the N-N bond. According to data on the concentration dependence of the signals for the NH protons in the 1H NMR spectra, the acylhydrazones obtained are stabilized in solution by intra-and intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
Synthesis of sterically hindered phenolic compounds from indole and its derivatives
Reactions of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl acetate with indole and its derivatives gave a series of sterically hindered phenolic compounds having various functional groups. The products are potentially capable of inhibiting radical chain oxidation processes according to different mechanisms.
