Abstract

Aldimines are an important class of organic compounds' and perusal of the literature reveals that the preferred route for the synthesis of aldimines involves the condensation of aldehydes with ammonia or amines. However, this method is sensitive to the pH of the reaction medium and substituent effects. For example, it is difficult to obtain aldimines from the condensation of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde with amines or Cnitroanilines with ...
