Experimental and Computational study of Some Schiff Bases

Imines are a crucial building block in the synthesis of many organic compounds. The acid-catalyzed condensation of p-chloro aniline and p-amino toluene, and aromatic aldehyde derivatives produced a number of Schiff bases. The products were recrystallized and identified by their FT-IR, 1HNMR and mass spectra. A computational study by Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the electronic structures was intended to study the effects of para substituted of benzaldehyde on the electronic structure of synthesized Schiff bases by using the ORCA software package.
