Review Synthesis and Characterization of N-benzylidene-2-hydroxybenzohydrazine

Abstract

The Schiff base ligand was synthesized from 2- hyhdroxybenzohydrazide and benzaldehyde. The imines, very well known and popular as Schiff Bases. Recent developments on their “metallo-imines” variants have been described. The applications of Schiff bases in organic synthesis is recognizable Schiff bases are aldehyde or ketone like compounds in which the carbonyl group is replaced by an imine or azomethine group. They are widely used for industrial purposes and also exhibit a broad range of biological activities.  The IR spectral data reveal that the ligand behaves as bidentate with ON donor atom sequence towards central metal ion.
