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 Schiff bases of chitosan were synthesized by the reaction of chitosan with 3-(4-substituted-phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde. The structure of the prepared chitosan derivatives was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction studies and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The results show that the specific properties of Schiff bases of chitosan can...

Five novel Schiff bases have been prepared from o-formylphenoxyacetic acid and a series of aminothiazoles to form a number of potentially biologically active compounds. The structures of these Schiff bases have been characterized using IR and (1)H-and (13)C-NMR spectroscopy.

Schiff bases are the most widely used organic compounds in which the carbonyl group is replaced by an imine or azomethine group. These compounds are very important in medicinal and pharmaceutical fields because of their wide spectrum. Most of them show biological activities such as antimicrobial and antifungal activity. This review summarizes the synthesis and antimicrobial activities of Schiff...

The change in the amounts of the three major reducible cross-links was followed throughout the bovine-life span. The major reducible cross-link in embryonic skin is 6,7-dehydro-N(epsilon) -(2-hydroxy-5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)hydroxylysine, but this is gradually replaced in the latter stages of gestation or early postnatal growth period by two other Schiff bases, 6,7-dehydro-N(epsilon)-(5-amino-5...

substituted schiff bases (hydrazones) 5a-j have been prepared from the starting material 2-chloro pyridine-3-carboxylic acid 1 by a sequence of reactions like reaction with 2-amino-6-nitro benzothiazole (ullamann condensation), thionyl chloride, hydrazine hydrate and different aromatic aldehydes. on cyclocondensation of 5a-j with thioglycolic acid in dry 1,4-dioxane furnished desired compounds ...
