A study on the condensation reaction of 4-amino-3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazole with benzaldehydes: Structure and spectroscopic properties of some new stable hemiaminals

Abstract

Studies on the stable hemiaminals and Schiff bases formation in the reaction of substituted benzaldehydes with primary 3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazole 4-amine were carried out under neutral conditions. These products were investigated by IR, Raman, MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra as well as by X-ray crystallography. The effect of reaction conditions: temperature, polarity of the solvents utilized, substrate concentration and the ortho and para benzaldehyde substituents on the yield of products was also examined.
