An Overview: Using Different Approaches to Synthesis New Schiff Bases Materials

Schiff base compounds are called relative to the scientist who first prepared them (Hugo Schiff). They synthesized by condensation reaction of carbonyl group –C=O– aldehyde or ketone compound with a primary amine. This leads formation azomethine imine –C=N– plus water molecule. molecules have gained special importance due their biological activity, such as anti-inflammatory and antibiotic. also utilized in industry corrosion inhibitors, dyes, photo-stabilizers plastic polymers. short review includes highlighting recent approaches synthesis novel molecules. It discusses mechanism why it is reversible reaction.
