Abstract:

An efficient high yielding synthesis of Schiff bases (1-17) is derived from condensation of 2-fluorenamine and 4-amino phenol with a variety of aldehydes catalyzed by dodecatungstosilicic acid / P2O5 under solvent free conditions at room temperature. The catayst is found to be more efficient in terms of ease of reaction workup and high yields. This methodology contributes to an energy efficient, facile and environamental friendly synthesis for the preparation of Schiff bases. The structures of afforded Schiff bases were characterized by spectroscopic data and elemental analysis.
