SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF SCHIFF BASES OBTAINED BY CONDENSATION OF 2-AMINOPYRIDINES WITH ACRYLIC ALDEHYDES

Abstract

We synthesized a series of novel imines by reactions of 2-amino-4-methylpyridine with (hetero)aromatic derivatives of acrolein in the presence of molecular sieves (as a dehydrating and acid-catalyzing agent). We determined the molecular and crystal structure of two 2-pyridylazomethines containing the CH=CH–CH=N group by X-ray diffraction analysis.
