The reaction of N-(4-(5-(furan-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenyl)hydroxylamine ( 1) with aldehydes (2-6) in the presence of weak acid as a catalyst afforded the corresponding aniline oxide derivatives (7-11). The structures of these products were characterized by their elemental analysis (C.

A new series of Co(II), Fe(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of Bis–(4-benzylidenamino-phenyl)-methane (L) have been prepared and characterized. The complexes conform to general formula [CoL(H2O)3] Cl2, [FeL(H2O)5]SO4.2H2O, [CuL(H2O)5] NO3 and [NiL(H2O)3Cl2], Infra red spectra and elemental analysis reveal uni-dentate coordination of Schiff base to metal ions. Molar conductivity measurements show that complexes (I, III) behave as 2:1 electrolyte while complex (II) behave as 1:1 electrolyte. The thermal studies for complexes shows that the complexes are thermal stable.
