1,3-Bis[(E)-(3-bromobenzylidene)amino]propan-2-ol

Abstract

1,3-Bis[(E)-(3-bromobenzylidene)amino]propan-2-ol Schiff base was synthesized in an acceptable yield by condensation of 3-bromobenzaldehyde with 1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol in methanol. The structure of the desired Schiff base compound was spectroscopically analyzed by EI-MS, CHN-elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-visible, and 1H and 13C-NMR. The structure was also computed by DFT-optimization, MEP, Mulliken, NPA, IR- B3LYP/6-311++G(d), and SCF-TD-DFT.
