Schiff base condensation of benzil bis(hydrazone) with formaldehyde, acetone and benzaldehyde and its nickel(II) complexes were synthesised. Preparation of the free ligands was accomplished by refluxing benzil with hydrazine derivatives in 1:10 mole ratios in ethylene glycol. The spectral characterisation of hydrazone based 14-membered octaaza macrocyclic complexes of nickel(II) was undertaken....

Schiff bases have been synthesized by condensing nicotinamide with methyl isobutyl ketone (MKN) and 2-hydroxy acetophenone (HAN). Metal complexes have been prepared by interacting these Schiff bases with metal ions viz. Ni(II), Cu(II) 1:2 (metal:ligand) ratio. These compounds have been synthesized by conventional as well as microwave methods and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vi...

The Present paper deals with the study of synthesis and characterisation of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Mn(III) complexes of polystyrene with 2-aminobenzaldehyde phenyl hydrazone ligand. The study is supported by magnetic susceptibility, infrared and UV-visible spectral study and thermal studies. The ligand and its metal complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activity using S.aureus and...

In this study, a series of isatin-based Mannich bases were prepared and their biological activity was evaluated. Schiff bases of isatin were synthesized by condensation of the keto group of isatin with different aromatic primary amines. The NMannich bases of the above Schiff bases were synthesized by reaction of the acidic imino group of isatin with formaldehyde and secondary amine. The chemica...

Introduction Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) have accomplished important rates of colonization and infection in most intensive care units. These multidrug-resistant strains of MRSA and VRE have been causing serious problems in health care. The rising clinical importance of drug-resistant pathogens has lent necessity to drug developm...

pure azo schiff bases were readily and conveniently accessible in high yields by mixing of the reagents either as aqueous slurry, or by grinding at room temperature. this method, unlike a classical method, needs neither harsh conditions nor organic solvents. the satisfactory results were obtained with excellent yields, short reaction time, and operational simplicity in the experimental procedur...

New crown ether Schiff base derivatives were prepared by the condensation of 4'-formylbenzo-15-crown-5 or 4'-formyl-5'-hydroxybenzo-15-crown-5 with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane. The structures of these new compounds were confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, (1)H- and (13)C-NMR, UV-Vis and mass spectroscopic data.
