addition of potassium cyanide to a mixture of schiff base and lithium perchlorate afforded a-aminonitriles in high yields. addition of potassium cyanide to a methanolic solution of schiff base and phosphoric acid afforded a-aminonitriles. when the reaction mixture was refluxed it gave a-amino acids in high yields.

the crystal structure of the title schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal x-ray diffraction data.the solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(ii) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. the crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.

the vo(iv) complexes of tridentate ono schiff base ligands derived from 2- aminobenzoicacid and salicylaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and characterized by ir, uv–vis and elemental analysis. electrochemical properties of the vanadyl complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. a good linear correlation was observed between the oxidation potentials and the electron-withdrawing charac...

A visual pigment is composed of retinal bound to its apoprotein by a protonated Schiff base linkage. Light isomerizes the chromophore and eventually causes the deprotonation of this Schiff base linkage at the meta II stage of the bleaching cycle. The meta II intermediate of the visual pigment is the active form of the pigment that binds to and activates the G protein transducin, starting the vi...

Two biologically active Schiff bases, C13H10BrON (4), C13H9Br2O2N (5), were synthesized by the reaction of 2-aminophenol (1) with 3-bromobenzaldehyde (2) or 3,5-dibromo-4hydroxybenzaldehyde (3) in the presence of conc. H2SO4. The characterization of Schiff bases were carried out by using spectroscopic techniques including IR, H-NMR, FAB-MS along with elemental analyses. The Schiff bases were ch...

Schiff base denotes a reaction product of a primary amine and a carbonyl compound. Schiff bases possess a wide variety of biological activity specially antibacterial and antifungal properties. Metal complexes of Schiff base have been studied for their biological activities. This review articles provide a summary of medicinal chemistry features of Schiff base and various reports published on bio...

A new class of rhodopsins covalently linked to an enzymatic domain was discovered recently. A member of this class of enzymerhodopsins, the rhodopsin-guanylyl cyclase (RhGC) was identified in the aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii (BE). Characterization of RhGC showed that the second-messenger molecule cGMP (cyclic guanylyl monophosphate) is produced upon green light illumination. Here, t...

A Schiff base was prepared from the interaction of ethanolic solutions of 2-hydroxy-1– naphthaldehyde and butylenediamine. The complexes were synthesized by refluxing the mixture of ethanolic solutions of the Schiff base and respective metal (II) chloride. Their solubility, melting point/decomposition temperature, molar conductance, elemental analysis and IR were carried out. The melting point ...
