Abstract
1, 3-Diaryl-2-propen-1-one (I) reacted with aroyl-and acyl-hydrazines and ethyl hydrazinecarboxylate (II) in the presence of prperidine to give the corresponding α-[3-(1, 3-diaryl-propan-1-one)]-β-acyl or-aroyl-hydrazines and ethyl β-[3-(1, 3-diaryl-propan-1-one)]-hydrazine-carboxylate (IV), respectively. The structure and configuration of these compounds are based on chemical analysis and spectroscopic evidence.
