Synthesis and characterization of Azo schiff bases and their β-lactam derivatives

Abstract

Azo salicylaldehyde (I5) was synthesized by reaction of 5-bromo-salicylaldehyde with diazonium salt of 4-nitroaniline by diazotization method. Thus, synthesized azoaldehyde was treated with variable 2-aminobenzothiazoles (I6a-f) to synthesize the Schiff bases (I7a-f). The β-lactam derivatives (I8a-f) were also synthesized. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by TLC, UV-visible and FT-IR techniques.
