Perchloric acid catalyzed condensation of amine and aldehydes: Synthesis and antibacterial activities of some aryl (E)-imines

Abstract

A series of Schiff’s bases (aryl E-imines) have been derived from the perchloric acid catalyzed condensation of aryl amines and substituted benzaldehydes. The yield of the Schiff’s bases are more than 80%. The synthesized Schiff’s bases are characterized by their physical constants, analytical and spectroscopical data. The antibacterial activities of these Schiff’s bases have been studied using Bauer-Kirby method.
