Abstract

Schiff bases are organic compounds that contain an imine or azomethine linkage. These are typically written as –C=N– This review covers the basics of the reaction, factors affecting synthesis and how you can analyse your product. FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis, Mass Spectroscopy, Elemental Analysis and Melting Point can be used to give supporting evidence to show what your product is. There have been reports of some organic schiff bases being tested for anti bacterial and anti-fungal properties, however this varies depending on the structure of the molecule, the organism being tested, concentration and testing conditions. The lab results will not automatically mean the substance has anti-bacterial properties in reality. This review only focuses on schiff bases made from aldehydes and primary amines.

Keywords: Aldehyde, Primary amine, Schiff base, Imine, Condensation, FTIR, NMR, Anti-bacterial, Antifungal. Despite improvements in intensive care.
