Schiff bases, having azomethine (RHC=N-R’) group and their metal complexes are widely used for industrial purposes and also reveal a wide range of biological applications. This review describes the most promising biological activities of Schiff bases and their metal complexes of cerium. A general idea for synthetic methodologies used for the synthesis of Schiff bases and their metal complexes i...

Three-dimensional conjugated poly(azomethine) networks were found to be promising candidates for applications in photocatalytic water splitting. Straightforward synthetic protocols lead to fully organic photocatalysts that showed enhanced long-time stability. Furthermore, the catalytic performance of these materials was correlated to the molecular composition and the optoelectronic properties o...

An unprecedented [4+3] cycloaddition of in situ generated azoalkenes with C,N-cyclic azomethine imines has been developed without the use of any catalyst, providing an efficient and mild approach to synthesise highly functionalized 1,2,4,5-tetrazepine derivatives in high yields (76-92%).

Two mol-ecules of the title compound, C(14)H(10)N(2)OS, are hydrogen bonded about a center of inversion. In the mol-ecule, the two aromatic rings are twisted by 37.27 (5)° with respect to one another. The azomethine bond is in the E configuration.

A highly regio- and stereoselective synthesis of bispirooxindoles by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of in situ generated azomethine ylides from isatin and proline to different electron-deficient alkenes has been developed. The synthesis affords the desired bispiro scaffold compounds in excellent yields with high regioselectivity under mild conditions. The stereochemistry was determined by single-cry...

The azo-azomethine dyes were prepared via condensation reaction of 2,4-dichloro-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine with azo couled 2-(2-mercaptophenylimino)methyl)-4-(aryldiazenyl)phenol. The UV–vis spectra indicated positive solvatochromism in synthesized compound are dependent on the substitution, solvent, pH and temperature. Some compounds exhibited antibacterial, antioxidant activities.

Oxidative transformations of the aldehydes, ketones, and their azomethine derivatives such as hydrazones, Schiff bases, azines, and oximes are presented and discussed. The oxidants used have been hydrogen peroxide in the presence of selenium compounds as catalysts, peroxycarboxylic acids, and eerie ammonium nitrate. Some of reported reactions have practical value in the synthesis of phenols, es...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(22)H(26)N(2)O(4), has two azomethine linkages, both of which are in an E configuration. The cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 66.57 (9)°. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by two intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

Enantioselective phosphination and hydrophosphonylation reactions between azomethine imines and diarylphosphine oxides or dialkyl phosphites were respectively developed by the use of a chiral squaramide as the hydrogen bonding organocatalyst, which afforded two types of phosphorus containing product in high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities.

Indolizidine and quinolizidine derivatives are readily assembled from proline or pipecolic acid and γ-nitroaldehydes by means of a decarboxylative annulation process. These reactions are promoted by simple acetic acid and involve azomethine ylides as reactive intermediates. The method was applied to the synthesis of an epiquinamide analog.
