ABSTRACT

In this work, hydrazine and hydrazide compounds were subjected to condensation

reaction with ketone and different aldehyde derivatives affording the corresponding

expected hydrazones. All the ligands were isolated in satisfactory yields (82 94%).

Eight hydrazone ligands, namely, benzophenone - 2,4 - dinitrophenylhydrazone (HL1),

formaldehyde-2,4–dinitrophenylhydrazone (HL2), salicylaldehyde–2,4– dinitrophenyl-

hydrazone (HL3), 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (HL4), 3-

hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde-4-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone (HL5), 2-hydroxy-5-nitro-

benzaldehyde-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (HL6), 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde-4-

hydroxybenzoylhydrazone (HL7) and salicylaldehyde-4-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone

(HL8) have been synthesized and characterized. Their chemical structures were found to

be consistent with both analytical and spectroscopic data (CHN, FTIR, UV/Vis, TGA and

1H NMR). The obtained ligands were evaluated for their anti-microbial activity towards

fungi, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus and bacteria,

Staphylooccus sp and Enterobacter sp. The results showed that these compounds are

mostly antibacterial rather than antifungal agents.

Eight sorbent materials (Sol1-Sol8) based on the newly synthesized hydrazone

ligand (HL1-HL8), were prepared by immobilizing the ligands into a silica sol-gel matrix.

The capability of the sorbent materials for the extraction of seven biogenic amines (BA),

i.e., tryptamine (TRY), β-phenylethylamine (PEA), putrescine (PUT), cadaverine (CAD),

histamine (HIS), tyramine (TYR), and spermidine (SPD) was studied by the batch

sorption method. The extracts were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography

(HPLC) with ultraviolet detection (254 nm). Results obtained showed that sorbent Sol1

based hydrazone (HL1) at pH 9, exhibited preferential selectivity towards the aliphatic

(PUT, CAD, SPD) and the heterocyclic (HIS) (%E > 96) over the aromatic (TRY, PEA,

TYR) BA (%E 78.7, 46.4 and 82.0 respectively). The high extraction efficiency of the

sorbent was achieved due to the high affinity between the sol-gel sorbent that contained

the hydrazone ligand and the target analyte. The sorbent could be used up to six

extraction cycles for SPD, CAD and PUT and was applied to the determination of BA in

different food samples (ketchup, orange juice, soy sauce) that were spiked with 5 mg L–1

of the standard BA. The extracted analytes were derivatized with dansyl chloride before

the HPLC determination. Reasonable recoveries (84.1 - 106.7%) were found for all

analytes in the tested food samples.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Hydrazones

Hydrazones are organic compounds of the formula R1CNNR2 where R1 and R2

represent H, aliphatic and aromatic group. They are usually formed by the condensation

reaction between hydrazine and ketones or aldehydes. The oxygen atoms in aldehydes and

ketones are replaced with the NNR2 functional group. Hydrazones are practically insoluble

in hot and cold water but some are partially soluble in cold ethyl alcohol and ether. They

possess a free amino group and can condense with another molecule of the carbonyl

component to form hydrazone derivative or azine (Fieser and Fieser, 1956). The hydrazone

unit offers a number of attractive features: a degree of rigidity, a conjugate π-system and an

NH unit that can readily participate in hydrogen bonding and may be a site of protonation and

deprotonation (Beves et al., 2009). The formation of hydrazone and its derivatives can be

presented by the following equation:

C O + H2NNH2 C

NNH2 C NN C

Aldehydeor

ketone

Hydrazine Hydrazone Hydrazone derivatives

(1.1)

Derivatives of hydrazine in which this double condensation is obviated

by the presence of a substituent group have more practical value than hydrazine. One of them

is phenylhydrazone that are formed from phenylhydrazine and benzaldehyde. Replacement

of the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group by =NNHC6H5 is followed by the increase in

molecular weight and decrease in solubility. An aldehyde or a ketone can often be

precipitated from a dilute solution as phenylhydrazone and identified by the melting point of

this derivative (Fieser and Fieser, 1956).

Page 20: SOLID PHASE EXTRACTION OF BIOGENIC AMINES USING ... · Appendix A The crystal packing of benzophenone 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone HL1, formaldehyde 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone HL2,

Accordingly, various hydrazone derivatives with different applications and properties

were prepared by the reaction of hydrazine with different aldehydes and ketones. Hydrazone

derivatives have been demonstrated to possess antimicrobial, anticonvulsant, antidepressant,

analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet, anti-tubercular, anti-tumoral activities, etc.

Hydrazones are organic compounds in which the carbon functional group exist in the

X and Y positions as CO2R, CN are usefull in dye industry (Hunger et al., 2003). Nitrogen

lone pair resonance (Scheme 1.1) made the hydrazone to have the carbon atom electron rich

and the nucleophilicity of this carbon atom has been used extensively in the synthesis

(Hunger et al., 2003). Due to their theoretical and practical importance, the structures and

synthetsis of these molecules have been extensively studied. In this part of our study we

review the chemistry of this class of compounds.

1.2 Hydrazines

Hydrazine compounds or derivatives are the main starting material in the synthesis

and preparation of hydrazone derivatives. Hydrazine, having the formula H2N–NH2 (N2H4),

can be considered as a nitrogen analog of hydrogen peroxide. It has an ammonia-like odour

and is derived from ammonia but its physical properties are similar to water. It is a weak base

which is protonated to give the N2H5+ ions according to equation (1.2):

N2H4 (aq) + H2O (l) N2H5 (aq) + OH (aq)

(1.2)

Hydrazine has an endothermic enthalpy of formation; therefore it is an unstable

compound (Brady, 1990). It is a powerful reducing agent and reacts vigorously with strong

oxidizing agents such as the halogens, nitric acid, dinitrogen tetraoxide and hydrogen

peroxide to give large volume of gaseous products according to equations (1.3) and (1.4). It

has been used as rocket fuels because the combustion of hydrazine is very exothermic

(Gillepie et al., 1989).

1.3 Synthesis of hydrazones

1.3.1 Condensation of functionalized aldehydes and ketone with hydrazines

The required α–functional aldehyde and/or ketone can be easily provided by this route

(Alexakis et al., 1991). Condensation of glyoxal 1a and substituted glyoxal 1b and 1c with

substituted hydrazines leads to the formation of the corresponding mono or bis hydrazones 2

or 3 basing on the molar ratio and on the applied reaction conditions (Huisman et al., 1997).

It has been reported that 1b reacts with phenylhydrazine to yield 4 which then rearranges into

2 (Scheme 1.2).

1.3.2 Coupling active methylenes with aromatic and heteroaromatic diazonium salts

Generally the coupling reaction is conducted at ambient temperature in protic solvents

in the presence of a base. The most commonly used base is sodium acetate but reaction in the

presence of sodium hydroxide or pyridine also has been reported (Al–Awadi et al., 1995). In

this step, acetylacetone 5a, benzoylacetone 5b, diphenylpentanedione 5c and 1,3 - diketones

(6a, 6b) have been coupled with aromatic diazonium salts in ethanolic sodium acetate

solution yielding the corresponding products 7a - c and 8a - b (Al–Awadi et al., 1995)

(Scheme 1.3).

1.4 Applications of hydrazones

1.4.1 Analytical applications of hydrazones and their derivatives

Hydrazones have been intensively investigated and their chemical properties studied.

In inorganic chemistry (mainly due to their facile synthesis), tuneable electronic and steric

properties and good chelating ability (Carcelli et al., 2005 and Das et al., 2005) were

reported. Derivatives of these compounds were investigated and used for the determination of

glucose in biological fluids such as serum, plasma and urine (Gochman and Schmitz et al.,

1972). 3–methyl–2–benzothiazolone hydrazone was applied for the determination of glucose

in serum or plasma as a blue cationic dye with glucose in aqueous solution was formed

(Neeley and Cupas, 1973).

Hydrazone derivatives are widely used in various analytical applications (Zegota,

1999; Zlotorzynska and Lai, 1999; Cordis et al., 1998; Lamberton et al., 1974). They are also

found to have versatile coordinating abilities towards different metal ions giving well-

characterized metal complexes (Raj and Kurup, 2007). They act as multidentate ligands with

metal ions (e.g., transition elements) forming coloured chelates which are then used in the

selective and sensitive determination of metal ions (Vasilikiotis and Stratis, 1975). They are

also used to determine airborne aldehydes and ketones in air samples by using 2,4–

dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) method in which the analytes were analyzed by passing a

stream of air through DNPH coated silica gel test tubes which are immediately eluted with

acetonitrile and injected into HPLC system (Vogel et al., 2000). In addition they were used

for the detection of formaldehyde in libraries (Hanoune et al., 2006).

Fernando et al. (1986) synthesized N–oxalylamine (salicylaldehyde hydrazone), 14.

The Al3+–14 system exhibited fluorescence properties when tested in ethanol solution (λex =

385 nm, λem = 470 nm) and in aqeous 4% v/v DMF (λex = 370 nm, λem = 470 nm). The

optimum concentration of the reagent was 3.86 10-4 M for 198 ppb of aluminum (Al). The

This method was applied for the determination of Al in mineral waters.

Jose et al. (1984) synthesized N,N′-oxalylbis(salicylaldehyde hydrazone) 15, which

was used for the spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric determination of trace amounts

of aluminium. The complex absorbs maximally at 390 nm and is linear over 0.1 – 1.8 g mL-1

Al. The molar absorptivity of the 15 – aluminium complex was 14.5 103l mol-1 cm-1. Cations

such as Hg2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, In3+, Ga3+ Ti4+, V5+, Cu2+, Zr4+ and Fe3+ interfered. They were

minimized by using thiosulphate as a masking agent and also by retention on a cation –

exchange column.

The fluorimetric method for the determination of aluminium using 15 was linear over

0 - 200 ppb aluminium. Relative error is 6.7% (P = 0.05). Interferences of gallium, indium

and thorium, also the effects of Pd2+, Th4+, Bi3+, Ti4+, V5+, Cu2+, Fe3+ and Ti4+ on the

applicability of the reagent was also studied. The developed methods were applied for the

determination of Al in alloys, pharmaceutical preparations and mineral water.

Silva and Valcàrcel, (1980) synthesized diphenylglyoxal bis(2– hydroxybonzoyl

and foods. This compound reacts with calcium (II) at pH 12 to produce a yellow complex.

Beer’s law was obeyed from 0.5 and 2.0 µg mL-1 and the molar absorptivity at 432 nm was

1.76 ± 0.14 104 L mol-1 cm-1.

Another reagent, 16 enables Beer’s law to be obeyed from 0.75 – 3.0 ppm of calcium.

Molar absorptivity was 1.03 ± 0.05 104 L mol-1 cm-1. The linear concentration range of

calcium was from 1.24 – 2.50 ppm with minimum error (P = 0.05) as ± 32%. Interferences

from strontium, barium and magnesium were also studied.

Chan and Cha, (1998) reported the synthesis of 2–hydroxybenzaldehyde–5–nitro–

pyridylhydrazone 17, and its application in the spectrophotometric determination of trace

amounts of cobalt in the presence of surfactants after a column separation containing

Amberlite resin. The method was linear over 0.02 – 2.0 mg L-1 and the limit of detection was

0.01 mg L-1.

Zhang et al. (2009) synthesized a series of novel colorimetric anion sensors

18(a – f) bearing phenol O–H and hydrazone N–H groups. Compounds 18a, b and d showed

selective recognition for acetate ion in DMSO/H2O (7.5 : 2.5, v/v) solutions. Sensors 18 (a &

b) could selectively sense chloride ion in DMSO/H2O (9 : 1, v/v) binary solutions by the

collaboration of phenol O–H and hydrazone N–H groups. Comparison with sensor 18e

indicates that the introduction of acidic phenol O–H group significantly enhanced the sensor′s

affinity to the chloride ion, which also enhanced the sensitivity of the sensor for sensing

acetate ion. It was found that the O–H group plays a critical role in the anion-recognition

process

biologically important anions was studied by UV–vis, fluorescence and 1H NMR titration

experiments and theoretical investigations. Results showed that the reagent 19a in the

absence of NO2 has no binding ability for various anions. While other reagents 19(b & c)

showed the highest binding ability towards various anions. Moreover, the colour changes

took place during the binding between the host and guest, has made this system to be used as

colorimetric anion sensor. The interaction of this reagent with the studied anions depends on

the NO2 which acts as a colorimetric and electron withdrawing group. The reagent is not

affected by the presence of other anions.

Jie Shao et al. (2008) investigated phenylhydrazone – based sensor 22 for the sensing

colour can be compared by the naked eye in which its colour induced by acetate is deep red

while by phosphate or fluoride is light red. Acetate anion produced stronger complex than the

other anions which allows acetate anion to be selectively detected from other anions.

Jie Shao et al. (2009) reported that an anion receptor 23 based on a tripodal

Hassanien et al. (2008) has successfully separated chromium III & VI from different

solutions using 1-(3,4–dihydroxybenzaldehyde)–2–acetylpyridinium chloride hydrazone 25

loaded on Duolite C20 in batch and column modes. The method is simple, fast and can easily

be applied for the separation and determination of two cations simultaneously. The separation

was done by using 100 mg modified resin with stirring time for 45 and 30 min. Cr(III) was

separated at pH 6 and Cr(IV) at pH 2, respectively. The method showed high recovery (97–

1.4.2 Biological activity

Hydrazones have been extensively studied due to their biologically active properties

such as anti-tumoral, analagesic, anti-platelet, anti-microbial, anti-tubercular and anti-

inflammatory activities. For example, isonicotinoyl hydrazones have been reported to have

anti-tubercular activity, also the activity of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid [(5-nitro-2-furyl)

methylene]-hydrazide (nifuroxazide) was investigated and the results showed that this

compound was active as an intestinal anti-septic. Moreover, Küçükgüzel et al. (1999) and

Rollas et al. (2002) have found that 4-fluorobenzoic acid[(5-nitro-2-furyl)methylene]-

hydrazide and 2,3,4-pentanetrione-3-[4-[[(5-nitro-2-furyl) methylene] hydrazino]carbonyl]

phenyl]-hydrazone have anti-bacterial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and

Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In addition N1-(4-methoxybenzamido)benzoyl]-N2-[(5-nitro-2-

furyl)methylene]hydrazine was prepared and tested for its anti-bacterial activity (Küçükgüzel

et al., 2002). Recently the activities of some newly synthesized hydrazide hydrazones were

investigated against M. tuberculosis (Kaymakçıоğlu et al., 2006).

Salgin-Göşen et al. (2007) synthesized a series of 5-methyl-2-benzoxazolinone

hydrazones. The analgesic-anti-inflammatory studies of 2-[2-(5-methyl-2-benzoxazoline- 3-

yl)acetyl]-4-chloro-4-methyl benzylidene hydrazine 44a and 44b were conducted and the

results showed that these compounds are highly active than those of morphine and aspirin.

Moreover, 2-[2-(5-methyl-2-benzoxazoline-3-yl) acetyl]-4-methoxybenzylidene hydrazine

exhibited the most anti-inflammatory activity at 200 mg kg-1 dose.

Duarte et al. (2007) described results on the testing of N\-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-

inflammatory compound. It was found that the activity of this compound depends on the 3,5-

di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl group attached to the imine function. This compound was

tested by using 300 µmol kg-1 without any side effect of gastric irritation.

1.4.2.4 Anti-malarial activity

Due to the urgent need for more and highly effective anti-malarial drugs, the

aroyhydrazone chelator 2-hydroxy-1-naphthylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone 46 have been

studied and the results showed the high activity of this compound against malaria than

desferrioxamine and chloroquine (Walcourt et al., 2004).

Bernardino et al. (2006) designed and synthesized a series of 1-substituted phenyl-

N`- [(substituted phenyl) methylene]-1H-pyrazole-4-carbohydrazides 47 and examined their

leishmanicidal and cytotoxic effects. In comparison with the ketoconazole, benznidazole,

allopurinol and pentamidine drugs in vitro, the 1H-pyrazole-4-carbohydrazide derivatives

with X = Br, Y = NO2 and X = NO2, Y = Cl showed the highest activity and more active

against L. amazonensis than on L. chagasi and L. braziliensis species.
