Abstract

:
A new Schiff base ester, 3-hydroxy-4-{[(3-nitrophenyl)imino]methyl}phenyl tetradecanoate, was synthesized and its IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS spectroscopic data are presented.

Graphical Abstract

Schiff bases have received a considerable amount of attention from many researchers owing to their importance in exhibiting thermochromism and photochromism [1,2,3,4]. Aromatic Schiff bases possessing long alkyl chain have received overwhelming attention due to their possibility to show mesomorphic properties such as smectic and nematic phases [5,6,7,8,9].

Synthesis

4-Formyl-3-hydroxyphenyl tetradecanoate was previously prepared via Steglich esterification [10]. In a round-bottom flask, a mixture of the aldehyde (1.74 g, 5.0 mmol), 3-nitroaniline (0.69 g, 5.0 mmol) and absolute ethanol (50 mL) was refluxed with stirring. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed from the filtrate by evaporation. Recrystallization from absolute ethanol gave the title compound as a yellow solid (0.33 g, 14%).
