Abstract

In the present study an intermolecular reductive Schiff base formation from nitroarenes and benzaldehydes to yield diarylimines is carried out in the presence of iron powder and dilute acid In this paper we propose the synthesis of (E)-4-methyl-N-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene) benzenamine in different methods and compare economically attractive method for synthesis of Schiff bases.
