Development of salicylidene anilines for application in the high school laboratory

By Sarah N. Ganrude

Abstract The syntheses of salicylidene anilines are readily accomplished through one-pot procedures with minimal purification necessary to afford a functional crystalline product.  These compounds are of interest due to their colorimetric response to 405 nm light in the solid state.  A series of salicylidene anilines have been generated to study the effect of enol/trans-keto isomerization … Continue reading →
